Solve for x:

5x+4=x+44

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

sorry i didnt mean to leave the other one as a comment! but yes x=10

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
