Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 3x + 10 and y = 16 meet at x = 2-4-22468-55101520253035x = 2y = 3x + 10y = 16
The lines y = 3x + 10 and y = 16 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.

    3x+10=163x + 10 = 16
  2. 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides:

    3x+10−10=16−10 ⇒ 3x=63x + 10 - 10 = 16 - 10 \ \Rightarrow\ 3x = 6
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 3:

    3x3=63 ⇒ x=2\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{6}{3} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 2
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 2 back into the equation.
