Solve 3x + 2 = 32

The solution of 3x + 2 = 32 is x = 10.

The lines y = 3x + 2 and y = 32 meet at x = 10468101214161520253035404550x = 10y = 3x + 2y = 32
The lines y = 3x + 2 and y = 32 meet at x = 10. 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+2=323x + 2 = 32
  2. 2

    Subtract 2 from both sides:

    3x+2−2=32−2 ⇒ 3x=303x + 2 - 2 = 32 - 2 \ \Rightarrow\ 3x = 30
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 3:

    3x3=303 ⇒ x=10\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{30}{3} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 10
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 10 back into the equation.
