    5.5 (8 - x) + 44 = 104 - 3.5 (3x + 24)

    Distribute 5.5 through the parenthesis.

    44 - 5.5x + 44 = 104 - 10.5x - 84

    Add the numbers.

    88 - 5.5x = 20 - 10.5x

    Move variable to the left side and change its sign.

    88 - 5.5x + 10.5x = 20

    -5.5x + 10.5x = 20 - 88

    Collect like terms.

    5x = 20 - 88

    Calculate the sum or difference.

    5x = - 68

    Divide both sides by 5.

    x = - 68 / 5
