The answer is 6.
Non-algebra way to do it:
Just work backwards and undo each step.
1. The answer is 26.
2. Undo the "add 2" by subtracting 2. 26 - 2 = 24.
3. Undo the "multiply by 4" by dividing by 4. 24 / 4 = 6.
The algebra way to do it:
4x +2 = 26
4x = 24
x = 6
Multiply 26 and .10 to get an answer of 2.6. Then add 26+2.6 for a final answer of 28.6

You can multiply 13 and 2 to get 26 or you can also multiply 26 and 1.
10 x 26 = 260 To multiply an integer (whole number) by 10, simply add a zero to the end of the number.
Multiply 26 and .10 to get an answer of 2.6. Then add 26+2.6 for a final answer of 28.6

Other than a calculator: The easiest way is to start by multiplying 26 by 10...you just add a 0 to 26 to get 260. Then, since you want to multiply 26 by 14, but you've already multiplied 26 by 10, you need to now multiply 26 by 4 (fourteen minus ten is 4). Which is..104. Add this number to the number you got by multiplying 26 by 10, and you get a total of 364. After doing this several times, you get the hang of it...I did that all in my head, for instance.

To solve the problem 14x26, you would first multiply the ones place of the first number (4) by the second number (26), which equals 104. Then, you would multiply the tens place of the first number (1) by the second number (26), which equals 260. Finally, you add the two products together: 104 + 260 = 364. Therefore, 14x26 equals 364.
