Solve 12x + 10 = 34

The solution of 12x + 10 = 34 is x = 2.

The lines y = 12x + 10 and y = 34 meet at x = 2-4-22468-40-2020406080100120x = 2y = 12x + 10y = 34
The lines y = 12x + 10 and y = 34 meet at x = 2. 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=3412x + 10 = 34
  2. 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides:

    12x+10−10=34−10 ⇒ 12x=2412x + 10 - 10 = 34 - 10 \ \Rightarrow\ 12x = 24
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 12:

    12x12=2412 ⇒ x=2\frac{12x}{12} = \frac{24}{12} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 2
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 2 back into the equation.
