Simplifying
23 + 45 + -48 + 34x = 292

Combine like terms: 23 + 45 = 68
68 + -48 + 34x = 292

Combine like terms: 68 + -48 = 20
20 + 34x = 292

Solving
20 + 34x = 292

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '-20' to each side of the equation.
20 + -20 + 34x = 292 + -20

Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0
0 + 34x = 292 + -20
34x = 292 + -20

Combine like terms:
292 + -20 = 272 34x = 272

Divide each side by '34'.
x = 8

Simplifying x = 8
