8X - 4 = 26

add 4 to each side

8X - 4 + 4 = 26 + 4

8X = 30

divide each sides integers by 8

(8/8)X = 30/8

X = 30/8

===========reduces to

X = 15/4

--------------check in original equation

8(15/4) - 4 = 26

120/4 - 4 = 26

30 - 4 = 26

26 = 26

----------------checks

The answer is, X = 15/4 or 3.75
