Solve 10x + 10 = 160

The solution of 10x + 10 = 160 is x = 15.

The lines y = 10x + 10 and y = 160 meet at x = 15101214161820100120140160180200220x = 15y = 10x + 10y = 160
The lines y = 10x + 10 and y = 160 meet at x = 15. 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=16010x + 10 = 160
  2. 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides:

    10x+10−10=160−10 ⇒ 10x=15010x + 10 - 10 = 160 - 10 \ \Rightarrow\ 10x = 150
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 10:

    10x10=15010 ⇒ x=15\frac{10x}{10} = \frac{150}{10} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 15
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 15 back into the equation.
