Grades are due and I NEED THIS TO PASS Create an equation with one solution of x = −9.

7x − (x − 26) = 2x − ( + x)

1 Remove parentheses.

7x-x+26=2x−x

2 Cancel -x on both sides.

7x+26=2x

3 Subtract 7x from both sides.

26=2x−7x

4 Simplify  2x-7x  to  -5x.

26=−5x

5 Divide both sides by -5.

26/-5=x

6 Switch sides.

x=26/-5

7 Simplify.

x=-5.2

depending on others is critical to survival. my source is apex!

step-by-step explanation:

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
