Answer:

x = 10

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
