-7x= -26+6x
26=6x+7x
26=13x
x=26/13
x=2

Isolate the common terms by rewriting as:
-7x-6x = -26, then you get -13x = -26. Finally divide both sides by -13 to get x = 2

-7x=-26+6x => -7x-6x=-26 => -13x=-26 =>x= -26/-13=2 ans

How to solve:
You need to get all of the same terms on the same side.
1) to move 6x to the other side of the equation, you can subtract it from both sides.
-7x-6x = -26+6x-6x
2) Reduce
-13x = -26
3) to reduce x to 1x (they just never show the 1 - it is 'understood'). Divide both sides by -13
-13x/-13 = -26/-13
4) reduce
x=2
