Solve 10x + 5 = 145

The solution of 10x + 5 = 145 is x = 14.

The lines y = 10x + 5 and y = 145 meet at x = 14810121416182080100120140160180200x = 14y = 10x + 5y = 145
The lines y = 10x + 5 and y = 145 meet at x = 14. 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+5=14510x + 5 = 145
  2. 2

    Subtract 5 from both sides:

    10x+5−5=145−5 ⇒ 10x=14010x + 5 - 5 = 145 - 5 \ \Rightarrow\ 10x = 140
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 10:

    10x10=14010 ⇒ x=14\frac{10x}{10} = \frac{140}{10} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 14
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 14 back into the equation.
