$x = 9$ $x=9$

we need to isolate the "x" variable first.

bring the 22 over to the other side, resulting in it being subtracted from the 229.

$45 x - 22 x = 229 - 22$ $45x-22x=229-22$
$45 x - 22 x = 207$ $45x-22x=207$

since 45 and 22 are both multiplied to a singular x, we can subtract those two terms

$23 x = 207$ $23x=207$

now, we need to divide 23 from both sides to find what x equals

$\frac{23 x}{23} = (\frac{207}{23})$ $(23x)/(23)=(207/23)$

$x = 9$ $x=9$
