a) To solve the equation ax+15=44, we can isolate the variable x by subtracting 15 from both sides of the equation:

ax + 15 - 15 = 44 - 15

ax = 29

To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by a:

x = 29 / a

b) To solve the inequality ax−44<15, we can isolate the variable x by adding 44 to both sides of the inequality:

ax - 44 + 44 < 15 + 44

ax < 59

To solve for x, divide both sides of the inequality by a:

x < 59 / a
