Step-by-step explanation:
Break down the problem into these 2 equations.
[tex]x - 13 = 44[/tex]
[tex] - (x - 13) = 44[/tex]
Solve the 1st equation x - 13 = 44
[tex]x = 57[/tex]
Solve the 2nd equation: -(x - 13) = 44
[tex]x = - 31[/tex]
Collect solutions.
x = -31, 57
Hence, The answer is x = -31, 57.
