x=-19

Explanation:

Put like terms on the same side of the equation. Remember what you do to one side of the equation, you to the other, and so if you add 9x to one side you must add 9x to the other.

Firstly, you rearrange the equation so like terms are on the same side (x's are on one side, and the rest is on the other side).

10x + 9x = -26 + 7

Simplify the equation and you get

x=-19
