Answer:

44 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

If you stand next to a wall on a frictionless skateboard and push the wall with a force of 44 N, then we need to find the force the wall push on you.

It is based on Newton's third law of motion which states that for an action there is an equal and opposite reaction. If the you push the wall with a force of 44 N, the wall push on you is 44 N also as it is based on Newton's third law of motion.
