5x+8-26x=0
Subtract 26x from both sides.
-21x+8=0
Combine 5x and -26x to get -21x.
-21x=-8
Subtract 8 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-8}{-21}
Divide both sides by -21.
x=\frac{8}{21}
Fraction \frac{-8}{-21} can be simplified to \frac{8}{21} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
