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+13=19312x + 13 = 193
  2. 2

    Subtract 13 from both sides:

    12x+13−13=193−13 ⇒ 12x=18012x + 13 - 13 = 193 - 13 \ \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.
