Solve 10x + 7 = 127

The solution of 10x + 7 = 127 is x = 12.

The lines y = 10x + 7 and y = 127 meet at x = 126810121416186080100120140160180x = 12y = 10x + 7y = 127
The lines y = 10x + 7 and y = 127 meet at x = 12. 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+7=12710x + 7 = 127
  2. 2

    Subtract 7 from both sides:

    10x+7−7=127−7 ⇒ 10x=12010x + 7 - 7 = 127 - 7 \ \Rightarrow\ 10x = 120
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 10:

    10x10=12010 ⇒ x=12\frac{10x}{10} = \frac{120}{10} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 12
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 12 back into the equation.
