The difference between 95 and a number is 26.

So that number could be called x.
Then the statement could be written as:
95-x=26

Subtract 95 from both sides.
-x = 26 - 95
-x= - 69

Then, just divide by -1.

The way I was taught to solve an equation like 95-x=26 was to isolate the variable (x) by moving terms around on each side of the = sign. When an term is moved from one side of the equal to the other it changes sign

ie

95 - x = 26
95 = 26 + x
95 - 26 = x
69 = x or x = 69
