Solve 3x + 3 = 30

The solution of 3x + 3 = 30 is x = 9.

The lines y = 3x + 3 and y = 30 meet at x = 9468101214101520253035404550x = 9y = 3x + 3y = 30
The lines y = 3x + 3 and y = 30 meet at x = 9. 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+3=303x + 3 = 30
  2. 2

    Subtract 3 from both sides:

    3x+3−3=30−3 ⇒ 3x=273x + 3 - 3 = 30 - 3 \ \Rightarrow\ 3x = 27
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 3:

    3x3=273 ⇒ x=9\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{27}{3} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 9
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 9 back into the equation.
