Solve 10x + 10 = 120

The solution of 10x + 10 = 120 is x = 11.

The lines y = 10x + 10 and y = 120 meet at x = 1168101214166080100120140160180x = 11y = 10x + 10y = 120
The lines y = 10x + 10 and y = 120 meet at x = 11. The solution of the equation is the x-coordinate of the point where the two sides are equal.

How to work it out

  1. 1

    The goal is to get x alone. Undo the operations in the opposite order: first the addition, then the multiplication.

    10x+10=12010x + 10 = 120
  2. 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides:

    10x+10−10=120−10 ⇒ 10x=11010x + 10 - 10 = 120 - 10 \ \Rightarrow\ 10x = 110
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 10:

    10x10=11010 ⇒ x=11\frac{10x}{10} = \frac{110}{10} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 11
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 11 back into the equation.
