Solve 10x + 4 = 64

The solution of 10x + 4 = 64 is x = 6.

The lines y = 10x + 4 and y = 64 meet at x = 62468101220406080100120x = 6y = 10x + 4y = 64
The lines y = 10x + 4 and y = 64 meet at x = 6. 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+4=6410x + 4 = 64
  2. 2

    Subtract 4 from both sides:

    10x+4−4=64−4 ⇒ 10x=6010x + 4 - 4 = 64 - 4 \ \Rightarrow\ 10x = 60
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 10:

    10x10=6010 ⇒ x=6\frac{10x}{10} = \frac{60}{10} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 6
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 6 back into the equation.
