Solve 12x + 10 = 190

The solution of 12x + 10 = 190 is x = 15.

The lines y = 12x + 10 and y = 190 meet at x = 15101214161820120140160180200220240260x = 15y = 12x + 10y = 190
The lines y = 12x + 10 and y = 190 meet at x = 15. 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.

    12x+10=19012x + 10 = 190
  2. 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides:

    12x+10−10=190−10 ⇒ 12x=18012x + 10 - 10 = 190 - 10 \ \Rightarrow\ 12x = 180
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 12:

    12x12=18012 ⇒ x=15\frac{12x}{12} = \frac{180}{12} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 15
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 15 back into the equation.
