Solved by pluggable solver: Linear Equation Solver

$\"44=-4%2B8x\"$ Start with the given equation.

$\"0=-4%2B8x-44\"$ Subtract $\"44\"$ from both sides.

$\"-8x=-4-44\"$ Subtract $\"8x\"$ from both sides.

$\"-8x=-48\"$ Combine like terms on the right side.

$\"x=%28-48%29%2F%28-8%29\"$ Divide both sides by $\"-8\"$ to isolate $\"x\"$ .

$\"x=6\"$ Reduce.
