26 - x = x
Add 'x' to both sides.
26 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2.
13 = x
-22x-8
An equation is a statement, and is never 'equal to' a number.Here are a few equations that all have the solution [x = 23] :x + 3 = 26x - 7 = 165x + 7 = x + 99x2 - 26x + 69 = 0x (26 - x) = 69

Let the numbers be x and ythen we have x+y=-26 and xy=40So x=40/yNow x+40/x=-26so x2 + 40+26x=0or x2 +26x +40=0You could solve this with the quadratic equation but let's complete the squarex2 +26x +40=0 is the same as(x+13)2 +40-169=0(x+13)2 =129x+13= + or = Square root of 129x=-13+square root of 129 or x=-13-square root of 129So the answers are =-13+(square root 129)-13 - square root of 129Their sum is clearly -13+-13=-26and their product is 40If you need natural numbers or rational numbers, then there is no solution, however if you want any two NUMBERS, then that is the answer.
Factors are (3x - 2)(10x - 2) so x = 2/3 or 1/5 Check: 30 x 4/9 - 26 x 2/3 = 120/9 - 52/3 = -12/3 = -4 OK 30 x 1/25 - 26/5 =30/25 - 26/5 = 6/5 - 26/5 = 20/5 = -4 OK 60
26x = 156 Divide both sides of the equation by 26 to find the value of x: x = 6
26x-4 = 25 +4 +4 26x = 29 x= 29/26 or 1.115...

26x + 9 = 699Subtract 9 from each side:26x = 690Divide each side by 26 :x = 690/26 = 26 and 14/690 = 26 and 7/345 = 26.5385 (rounded)

8x - 22 = 2x + 28x - 2x - 22 = 2x - 2x + 26x - 22 = 26x - 22 + 22 = 2+ 226x = 24x = 24/6 = 4
x2+26x = 68 x2+26x-68 = 0 (x+13)2-68 = 0 (x+13)2-169-68 = 0 x+13 = +/- the square root of 237 x = -13 +/- the square root of 237
x2 + 26x + 48 = (x + 24)(x + 2)
3x2+26x+16 When factorised: (3x+2)(x+8)
3x + 5x = 2x + 28x = 2x + 26x = 2x = (2/6) = 1/3
The x-axis is y = 0 → y = 8x² - 26x + 15 → 0 = 8x² - 26x + 15 = (4x - 3)(2x - 5) So 4x - 3 = 0 → 4x = 3 → x = ¾ = 0.75 or 2x -5 = 0 → 2x = 5 → x = 2½ = 2.5 The y-axis is x = 0 → y = 8x² - 26x + 15 = 8 × 0² - 26 × 0 + 15 = 15 → The points of contact with the x- and y- axes of y = 8x² - 26x + 15 are: (0.75, 0), (2.5, 0), (0, 15)
