Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
5x + -6 = 44
Reorder the terms:
-6 + 5x = 44
Solving
-6 + 5x = 44
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 6 + 5x = 44 + 6
Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + 5x = 44 + 6
5x = 44 + 6
Combine like terms: 44 + 6 = 50
5x = 50
Divide each side by '5'.
x = 10
Simplifying
x = 10
