Solve 10x + 10 = 60

The solution of 10x + 10 = 60 is x = 5.

The lines y = 10x + 10 and y = 60 meet at x = 524681020406080100120x = 5y = 10x + 10y = 60
The lines y = 10x + 10 and y = 60 meet at x = 5. 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=6010x + 10 = 60
  2. 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides:

    10x+10−10=60−10 ⇒ 10x=5010x + 10 - 10 = 60 - 10 \ \Rightarrow\ 10x = 50
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 10:

    10x10=5010 ⇒ x=5\frac{10x}{10} = \frac{50}{10} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 5
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 5 back into the equation.
