Question 696398
{{{86+16=x+44}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{102=x+44}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{0=x+44-102}}} Subtract {{{102}}} from both sides.



{{{-x=44-102}}} Subtract {{{x}}} from both sides.



{{{-x=-58}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-58)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=58}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=58}}}
