Solve 10x + 3 = 183

The solution of 10x + 3 = 183 is x = 18.

The lines y = 10x + 3 and y = 183 meet at x = 1812141618202224120140160180200220240x = 18y = 10x + 3y = 183
The lines y = 10x + 3 and y = 183 meet at x = 18. 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+3=18310x + 3 = 183
  2. 2

    Subtract 3 from both sides:

    10x+3−3=183−3 ⇒ 10x=18010x + 3 - 3 = 183 - 3 \ \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.
