- 15 x + 44 = 8 x - 12
Subtract 8x from both sides.
-15x+44-8x=-12
Combine -15x and -8x to get -23x
-23x+44=-12
Subtract 44 from both sides
-23x=-12-44
Subtract 44 from -14 to get -56
-23x=-56 divide both sides by -56
x=-56/-23
Can be simplified by removing negative sign which makes it 56/23.
X=56/23
