x is just 9-3 i was not going to tell u the answer so 9-3=6 so 5x6=30 and 5x4=20 then you add them together then subtract 6 to get 44 see

To solve the problem: 5(9-3)+5x4-6=, we can follow the order of operations known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division from left to right, and Addition and Subtraction from left to right). Let's break it down step by step:

Step 1: Start by simplifying within the parentheses.
9 - 3 = 6

The equation becomes: 5(6) + 5x4 - 6 =

Step 2: Next, perform the multiplication.
5 * 6 = 30

The equation becomes: 30 + 5x4 - 6 =

Step 3: Move to the next multiplication.
5 * 4 = 20

The equation becomes: 30 + 20 - 6 =

Step 4: Proceed with the addition and subtraction from left to right.
30 + 20 = 50

The equation becomes: 50 - 6 =

Step 5: Finally, perform the subtraction.
50 - 6 = 44

Therefore, the solution to the problem 5(9-3)+5x4-6= is 44.
