Solve 11x + 10 = 153

The solution of 11x + 10 = 153 is x = 13.

The lines y = 11x + 10 and y = 153 meet at x = 138101214161880100120140160180200220x = 13y = 11x + 10y = 153
The lines y = 11x + 10 and y = 153 meet at x = 13. 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.

    11x+10=15311x + 10 = 153
  2. 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides:

    11x+10−10=153−10 ⇒ 11x=14311x + 10 - 10 = 153 - 10 \ \Rightarrow\ 11x = 143
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 11:

    11x11=14311 ⇒ x=13\frac{11x}{11} = \frac{143}{11} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 13
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 13 back into the equation.
