What is x in 5x - 6 = 44

The answer is x=10

Explanation:

When you set up the equation you have to cancel out the 6 by adding 6 on both sides like this -

5x-6=44

+6 + 6

You then wind up getting

5x=50

Then the last step is to divide by 5 on each side.

5/5x=50/5

X=10

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 6 = 44

(add 6 to 44)

5x=50

(divide 5 into 50)

x=10
