Solve 4(x+26)=130

$$4 ( x + 26 ) = 130$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{13}{2} = 6\frac{1}{2} = 6.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by 4.

$$x+26=\frac{130}{4}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{130}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x+26=\frac{65}{2}$$

Subtract 26 from both sides.

$$x=\frac{65}{2}-26$$

Convert 26 to fraction \frac{52}{2}.

$$x=\frac{65}{2}-\frac{52}{2}$$

Since \frac{65}{2} and \frac{52}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{65-52}{2}$$

Subtract 52 from 65 to get 13.

$$x=\frac{13}{2}$$
