What is the answer to this question?

X = 20.5

the equation

x+5*x-2=44

combine like terms

2x+3=44

and so on

3-44=41

41/2 = 20.5

Now x=20.5

x + 5 X x - 2 = 44

2x + 3 = 44

-3           -3

2x = 41

divide by 2 on both sides

x = 20.5

this is not the answer this is just a question. is this middle school math?
