Solve 3x + 13 = 19

The solution of 3x + 13 = 19 is x = 2.

The lines y = 3x + 13 and y = 19 meet at x = 2-4-22468510152025303540x = 2y = 3x + 13y = 19
The lines y = 3x + 13 and y = 19 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+13=193x + 13 = 19
  2. 2

    Subtract 13 from both sides:

    3x+13−13=19−13 ⇒ 3x=63x + 13 - 13 = 19 - 13 \ \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.
