2x - 8x -10 = 44 + 8x - 8x
- 6x -10 +10 = 44 + 10 + 0
-6x + 0 = 54
-6x / -6 = 54 / -6
x = -9

2x-10=44+8x
2x -8x = 44 +10
-6x = 54
x =-54/6 = -9

2x-10=44+8x
subtract 2x from both sides
-10=44+6x
subtract 44 from both sides
-54=6x
divide 6 from both sides
-9=x

2x-10=44+8x
-54=6x (subtract 2x and subtract 44 from both sides)
-9=x (divide both sides by 6)

[original equation]
2x -10 = 44+ 8x
[add 10 to both sides]
2x = 54 + 8x
[subtract 8x from both sides]
-6x = 54
[divide both sides by -6]
x = -9
CHECK
[original equation]
2x -10 = 44+ 8x
[plug in -9]
2(-9) - 10 = 44 + 8(-9)
[multiply it out]
-18 - 10 = 44 - 72
[add it up]
-28 = -28
CORRECT
Hope that helps!
