The answer is 6.
Non-algebra way to do it:
Just work backwards and undo each step.
1. The answer is 26.
2. Undo the "add 2" by subtracting 2. 26 - 2 = 24.
3. Undo the "multiply by 4" by dividing by 4. 24 / 4 = 6.
The algebra way to do it:
4x +2 = 26
4x = 24
x = 6
The answer is 6.

10% of 26 equals 0.10 times 26 equals 2.6. 26 + 2.6 = 28.6
You can multiply 13 and 2 to get 26 or you can also multiply 26 and 1.
10 x 26 = 260 To multiply an integer (whole number) by 10, simply add a zero to the end of the number.
10% of 26 equals 0.10 times 26 equals 2.6. 26 + 2.6 = 28.6

Just multiply the number of hours by 60, then add to the minutes.

To solve the math problem 14 x 26, you multiply the number 14 by 26 as follows. First, multiply 14 by 6, the last number of 26. That gives you 84. Then multiply 14 by 2, which gives you 28. Since this answer goes in the tens column, rather than the units column, however, you need to add a zero, giving you 280. Then you add 84 and 280, which gives you 364, which is your answer.
Other than a calculator: The easiest way is to start by multiplying 26 by 10...you just add a 0 to 26 to get 260. Then, since you want to multiply 26 by 14, but you've already multiplied 26 by 10, you need to now multiply 26 by 4 (fourteen minus ten is 4). Which is..104. Add this number to the number you got by multiplying 26 by 10, and you get a total of 364. After doing this several times, you get the hang of it...I did that all in my head, for instance.
