    We can use the distribution property:

    -2 (4x - 5) + 2x + 4 = 26

    Move like terms to one side and distribute:

    -2 (4x - 5) + 2x + 4 = 26

    -8x + 10 + 2x + 4 = 26

    -8x + 2x = 26 - 10 - 4

    Simplify:

    -6x = 12

    Solve:

    6x = - 12

    x = - 2

    X = - 2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

    -2 (4x-5) + 2x+4=26

    (-2) (4x) + (-2) (-5) + 2x+4=26 (Distribute)

    -8x+10+2x+4=26

    (-8x+2x) + (10+4) = 26 (Combine Like Terms)

    -6x+14=26

    -6x+14=26

    Step 2: Subtract 14 from both sides.

    -6x+14-14=26-14

    -6x=12

    Step 3: Divide both sides by - 6.

    -6x

    -6

    =

    12

    -6

    x=-2

    Answer:

    x=-2
