Solve 2x + 3 = 35

The solution of 2x + 3 = 35 is x = 16.

The lines y = 2x + 3 and y = 35 meet at x = 16101214161820222530354045x = 16y = 2x + 3y = 35
The lines y = 2x + 3 and y = 35 meet at x = 16. 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+3=352x + 3 = 35
  2. 2

    Subtract 3 from both sides:

    2x+3−3=35−3 ⇒ 2x=322x + 3 - 3 = 35 - 3 \ \Rightarrow\ 2x = 32
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 2:

    2x2=322 ⇒ x=16\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{32}{2} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 16
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 16 back into the equation.
