Solve 3x + 13 = 34

The solution of 3x + 13 = 34 is x = 7.

The lines y = 3x + 13 and y = 34 meet at x = 724681012152025303540455055x = 7y = 3x + 13y = 34
The lines y = 3x + 13 and y = 34 meet at x = 7. 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=343x + 13 = 34
  2. 2

    Subtract 13 from both sides:

    3x+13−13=34−13 ⇒ 3x=213x + 13 - 13 = 34 - 13 \ \Rightarrow\ 3x = 21
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 3:

    3x3=213 ⇒ x=7\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{21}{3} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 7
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 7 back into the equation.
