$\frac{4 (x + 3)}{4} = \frac{44}{4}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $4$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{4 (x + 3)}{4} = \frac{44}{4}$

Divide $x + 3$ by $1$ .

$x + 3 = \frac{44}{4}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $44$ by $4$ .

$x + 3 = 11$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the equation.
