The given equation is
[tex]5x+9=44[/tex]
A word problem for this equation would be
Each box of food costs $5 plus a $9 fee for transporting the box. How many boxes could you send if the total cost is $44?
Then we can solve for x to find the answer
[tex]\begin{gathered} 5x=44-9 \\ 5x=35 \\ x=\frac{35}{5} \\ x=7 \end{gathered}[/tex]
