You simply have to isolate x to find its value. First step is to subtract 45 from 9344. This cancels it out in the left side. Then, your equation will look like this:
2x = 9299
The last step would be to divide each side be 2.
x = 4649.5
Hope this helped!

You isolate the x term by first subtracting 45 from both sides.

2x + 45 = 9344

2x = 9344 - 45

2x = 9299

Then you divide both sides by 2 to get x on its own.

x = 4649.5
