The solution is #25/6# or #4.1bar(6)#.

Explanation:

First, you want to isolate the variable by subtracting #19# from both sides.

#6x + 19 -19=44-19#

#6x=25#

Then, divide by #6# on both sides so that #x# is completely alone.

#x=25/6#

There isn't really anything you can do to simplify the fraction, so you can either leave it as it is or you can make is a decimal, which would be #4.1bar(6)#.

I hope this helped!
