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+15=19510x + 15 = 195
  2. 2

    Subtract 15 from both sides:

    10x+15−15=195−15 ⇒ 10x=18010x + 15 - 15 = 195 - 15 \ \Rightarrow\ 10x = 180
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 10:

    10x10=18010 ⇒ x=18\frac{10x}{10} = \frac{180}{10} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 18
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 18 back into the equation.
