To solve for x, we can start by combining like terms on both sides of the equation:

26 - x = 16 - 2x

First, let's get rid of the negative sign in front of the x on the left side by adding x to both sides:

26 - x + x = 16 - 2x + x

This simplifies to:

26 = 16 - x

Next, let's get rid of the negative sign in front of the x on the right side by adding x to both sides:

26 + x = 16 - x + x

This simplifies to:

26 + x = 16

Now, let's isolate x by subtracting 16 from both sides:

26 + x - 16 = 16 - 16

This simplifies to:

10 + x = 0

Finally, let's isolate x by subtracting 10 from both sides:

10 + x - 10 = 0 - 10

This simplifies to:

x = -10

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -10.
