    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
