    The equation is: 5x - x = 1044

    Now, What you have to do here is simple.

    First, subtract x from 5x and you get 4x.

    4x = 1044

    Here you divide both sides by 4. 4x becomes x and 1044 becomes 261.

    x = 261

    We have the first number. To get the other one we have to multiply 261 by 5.

    261 * 5 = 1305

    the answer is 1305

    So:

    x = 261

    5x=1305

    Hope you understand.
