The lines y = 2x + 10 and y = 44 meet at x = 17. 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.

    2x+10=442x + 10 = 44
  2. 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides:

    2x+10−10=44−10 ⇒ 2x=342x + 10 - 10 = 44 - 10 \ \Rightarrow\ 2x = 34
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 2:

    2x2=342 ⇒ x=17\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{34}{2} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 17
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 17 back into the equation.
