Step 1: is not needed since there are no fractions.
Step 2: is not needed since there are no parentheses.
Step 3: is not needed.
Step 4: the equation is linear.
Step 5:
$5x-4+4=26+4$ (Add 4 to both sides)
$5x=30$
Step 6:$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{30}{5}$ Divide both sides by 5.
x=6
Final Step: check: $5\times6=30$
