(3/2)x - 26 = -8
Add 26 to each side
(3/2)x = 18
Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 3/2
x = 18(2/3)
x = 12

anything you do to one side of the equal sign you must do to the other. Then you use inverse order of operations to get the variable alone.
So first, add 26 (the opposite of -26) to both sides. You end up with 3/2x=18
Then multiply by 2/3 (the inverse of multiply by 3/2) To get
x=12

Show your work
3/2x-26=-8
add 26 to both sides
3/2x=18
multiply both sides by 2
3x = 36
divide both sides by 3
x = 12

Too easy. Add 26 to each side, then multiply each side by 2/3. You should get x = 12.
