Solve 3x + 10 = 34

The solution of 3x + 10 = 34 is x = 8.

The lines y = 3x + 10 and y = 34 meet at x = 82468101214152025303540455055x = 8y = 3x + 10y = 34
The lines y = 3x + 10 and y = 34 meet at x = 8. 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=343x + 10 = 34
  2. 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides:

    3x+10−10=34−10 ⇒ 3x=243x + 10 - 10 = 34 - 10 \ \Rightarrow\ 3x = 24
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 3:

    3x3=243 ⇒ x=8\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{24}{3} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 8
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 8 back into the equation.
