Solve 10x + 3 = 203

The solution of 10x + 3 = 203 is x = 20.

The lines y = 10x + 3 and y = 203 meet at x = 2014161820222426140160180200220240260x = 20y = 10x + 3y = 203
The lines y = 10x + 3 and y = 203 meet at x = 20. 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=20310x + 3 = 203
  2. 2

    Subtract 3 from both sides:

    10x+3−3=203−3 ⇒ 10x=20010x + 3 - 3 = 203 - 3 \ \Rightarrow\ 10x = 200
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 10:

    10x10=20010 ⇒ x=20\frac{10x}{10} = \frac{200}{10} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 20
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 20 back into the equation.
