    Step-by-step explanation:

    So what we want to do first is expand the left side

    5 (x+4)

    Use Foil

    5x + 20

    Now lets put everything together

    5x + 20 = 7x - 26

    Bring the x's to one side

    5x + 20 (-5x) = 7x - 26 (-5x)

    20 = 2x - 26

    Move the constants to one side

    20 (+26) = 2x - 26 (+26)

    46 = 2x

    Now divide by 2

    x = 23
