| 44 | x | = | 242 5 | ( | 44 | + | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 242 5 | × | 44 | + | 242 5 | x |
| = | 10648 5 | + | 242 5 | x |
| 44 | x | = | 10648 5 | + | 242 5 | x |
| 44 | x | − | 242 5 | x | = | 10648 5 |
| - | 22 5 | x | = | 10648 5 |
| - | 10648 5 | = | 22 5 | x |
22 5 | x | = | - | 10648 5 |
| x | = | - | 10648 5 | ÷ | 22 5 |
| = | - | 10648 5 | × | 5 22 |
| = | - | 484 | × | 1 |
| x | = | - | 484 |
