Solve 5[4*(6x-3)+2]-4=26

$$5 [ 4 \cdot ( 6 x - 3 ) + 2 ] - 4 = 26$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{2}{3}\approx 0.666666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 6x-3.

$$5\left(24x-12+2\right)-4=26$$

Add -12 and 2 to get -10.

$$5\left(24x-10\right)-4=26$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 24x-10.

$$120x-50-4=26$$

Subtract 4 from -50 to get -54.

$$120x-54=26$$

Add 54 to both sides.

$$120x=26+54$$

Add 26 and 54 to get 80.

$$120x=80$$

Divide both sides by 120.

$$x=\frac{80}{120}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{80}{120} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 40.

$$x=\frac{2}{3}$$
