Solve 10x + 10 = 180

The solution of 10x + 10 = 180 is x = 17.

The lines y = 10x + 10 and y = 180 meet at x = 17121416182022120140160180200220240x = 17y = 10x + 10y = 180
The lines y = 10x + 10 and y = 180 meet at x = 17. 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=18010x + 10 = 180
  2. 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides:

    10x+10−10=180−10 ⇒ 10x=17010x + 10 - 10 = 180 - 10 \ \Rightarrow\ 10x = 170
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 10:

    10x10=17010 ⇒ x=17\frac{10x}{10} = \frac{170}{10} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 17
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 17 back into the equation.
