Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "5.6" was replaced by "(56/10)". 2 more similar replacement(s)

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                     (44/10)-(x-(56/10))=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

            28
 Simplify   ——
            5 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  44          28
  —— -  (x -  ——)  = 0 
  10          5 

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5  as the denominator :

          x     x • 5
     x =  —  =  —————
          1       5  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 2.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

 x • 5 - (28)     5x - 28
 ————————————  =  ———————
      5              5   

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  44    (5x - 28)
  —— -  —————————  = 0 
  10        5    

Step  3  :

            22
 Simplify   ——
            5 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  22    (5x - 28)
  —— -  —————————  = 0 
  5         5    

Step  4  :

Adding fractions which have a common denominator :

 4.1       Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

 22 - ((5x-28))     50 - 5x
 ——————————————  =  ———————
       5               5   

Step  5  :

Pulling out like terms :

 5.1     Pull out like factors :

   50 - 5x  =   -5 • (x - 10) 

Equation at the end of step  5  :

  10 - x  = 0 

Step  6  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 6.1      Solve  :    -x+10 = 0 

 Subtract  10  from both sides of the equation : 
                      -x = -10
Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  x = 10
