Question

Solve for x: 5x+4=x+44

Answer 1

Simplifying
5x + 4 = x + 44

Reorder the terms:
4 + 5x = x + 44

Reorder the terms:
4 + 5x = 44 + x

Solving
4 + 5x = 44 + x

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '-1x' to each side of the equation.
4 + 5x + -1x = 44 + x + -1x

Combine like terms: 5x + -1x = 4x
4 + 4x = 44 + x + -1x

Combine like terms: x + -1x = 0
4 + 4x = 44 + 0
4 + 4x = 44

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + 4x = 44 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + 4x = 44 + -4
4x = 44 + -4

Combine like terms: 44 + -4 = 40
4x = 40

Divide each side by '4'.
x = 10

Simplifying
x = 10
