Solve 3x + 10 = 49

The solution of 3x + 10 = 49 is x = 13.

The lines y = 3x + 10 and y = 49 meet at x = 1381012141618303540455055606570x = 13y = 3x + 10y = 49
The lines y = 3x + 10 and y = 49 meet at x = 13. 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=493x + 10 = 49
  2. 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides:

    3x+10−10=49−10 ⇒ 3x=393x + 10 - 10 = 49 - 10 \ \Rightarrow\ 3x = 39
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 3:

    3x3=393 ⇒ x=13\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{39}{3} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 13
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 13 back into the equation.
