Solve 10x + 12 = 32

The solution of 10x + 12 = 32 is x = 2.

The lines y = 10x + 12 and y = 32 meet at x = 2-4-22468-40-2020406080100x = 2y = 10x + 12y = 32
The lines y = 10x + 12 and y = 32 meet at x = 2. 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+12=3210x + 12 = 32
  2. 2

    Subtract 12 from both sides:

    10x+12−12=32−12 ⇒ 10x=2010x + 12 - 12 = 32 - 12 \ \Rightarrow\ 10x = 20
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 10:

    10x10=2010 ⇒ x=2\frac{10x}{10} = \frac{20}{10} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 2
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 2 back into the equation.
