Solve 10x + 2 = 22

The solution of 10x + 2 = 22 is x = 2.

The lines y = 10x + 2 and y = 22 meet at x = 2-4-22468-40-2020406080x = 2y = 10x + 2y = 22
The lines y = 10x + 2 and y = 22 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+2=2210x + 2 = 22
  2. 2

    Subtract 2 from both sides:

    10x+2−2=22−2 ⇒ 10x=2010x + 2 - 2 = 22 - 2 \ \Rightarrow\ 10x = 20
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 10:

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

    Check: put x = 2 back into the equation.
