8 x - 4 (5 - x) = -44

mutiply the bracket by -4

(-4)(5) = -20

(-4)(-x)= 4x

8x-20+4x= -44

8x+4x-20= -44 ( combine like terms )

12x-20= -44

move -20 to the other side

sign changes from -20 to +20

12x-20+20= -44+20

12x= -44+20

12x= -24

divide both sides by 12

12x/12= -24/12

Answer: x= -2

So, the new road parallel to 2nd ave has a slope of $\boxed{0}$ .
