The solution of 10x + 15 = 45 is x = 3.

The lines y = 10x + 15 and y = 45 meet at x = 3-22468-2020406080100x = 3y = 10x + 15y = 45
The lines y = 10x + 15 and y = 45 meet at x = 3. 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+15=4510x + 15 = 45
  2. 2

    Subtract 15 from both sides:

    10x+15−15=45−15 ⇒ 10x=3010x + 15 - 15 = 45 - 15 \ \Rightarrow\ 10x = 30
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 10:

    10x10=3010 ⇒ x=3\frac{10x}{10} = \frac{30}{10} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 3
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 3 back into the equation.
