Answer:

Simplifying

(10x + 44) = (8x + -23)

Reorder the terms:

(44 + 10x) = (8x + -23)

Remove parenthesis around (44 + 10x)

44 + 10x = (8x + -23)

Reorder the terms:

44 + 10x = (-23 + 8x)

Remove parenthesis around (-23 + 8x)

44 + 10x = -23 + 8x

Solving

44 + 10x = -23 + 8x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-8x' to each side of the equation.

44 + 10x + -8x = -23 + 8x + -8x

Combine like terms: 10x + -8x = 2x

44 + 2x = -23 + 8x + -8x

Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0

44 + 2x = -23 + 0

44 + 2x = -23

Add '-44' to each side of the equation.

44 + -44 + 2x = -23 + -44

Combine like terms: 44 + -44 = 0

0 + 2x = -23 + -44

2x = -23 + -44

Combine like terms: -23 + -44 = -67

2x = -67

Divide each side by '2'.

x = -33.5

Simplifying

x = -33.5
