Solve 10x + 14 = 184

The solution of 10x + 14 = 184 is x = 17.

The lines y = 10x + 14 and y = 184 meet at x = 17121416182022120140160180200220240x = 17y = 10x + 14y = 184
The lines y = 10x + 14 and y = 184 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+14=18410x + 14 = 184
  2. 2

    Subtract 14 from both sides:

    10x+14−14=184−14 ⇒ 10x=17010x + 14 - 14 = 184 - 14 \ \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.
