988=26\left(-x+67\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to 67 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by -x+67.
988=-26x+1742
Use the distributive property to multiply 26 by -x+67.
-26x+1742=988
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-26x=988-1742
Subtract 1742 from both sides.
-26x=-754
Subtract 1742 from 988 to get -754.
x=\frac{-754}{-26}
Divide both sides by -26.
x=29
Divide -754 by -26 to get 29.
