In this question, we have the following question:
Step 2:
Solving this, we have that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4x\text{ + 10 = -26} \\ \text{collect like terms, we have that:} \\ 4x\text{ = -26 - 10} \\ 4x\text{ = -36} \\ Divide\text{ both sides by 4, we have that:} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{-36}{4} \\ x\text{ = -9} \end{gathered}[/tex]CONCLUSION:
The final answer is - 9
