–4(x – 26) = –200
x =

76

Explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    -4*(x-26)-(-200)=0

Step by step solution :

Pulling out like terms

3.1     Pull out like factors :

  304 - 4x  =   -4 • (x - 76)

Equation at the end of step

Equations which are never true

4.1      Solve :    -4   =  0

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

4.2      Solve  :    x-76 = 0

Add  76  to both sides of the equation :

                     x = 76

One solution was found :

x = 76
