Question

$$2(3X+5)=26$$

Solve for X

$X = \frac{8}{3} = 2\frac{2}{3} \approx 2.666666667$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by $2$.

$$3X+5=\frac{26}{2}$$

Divide $26$ by $2$ to get $13$.

$$3X+5=13$$

Subtract $5$ from both sides.

$$3X=13-5$$

Subtract $5$ from $13$ to get $8$.

$$3X=8$$

Divide both sides by $3$.

$$X=\frac{8}{3}$$
