The lines y = 3x + 4 and y = 25 meet at x = 72468101251015202530354045x = 7y = 3x + 4y = 25
The lines y = 3x + 4 and y = 25 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+4=253x + 4 = 25
  2. 2

    Subtract 4 from both sides:

    3x+4−4=25−4 ⇒ 3x=213x + 4 - 4 = 25 - 4 \ \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.
