Solve 3x + 7 = 64

The solution of 3x + 7 = 64 is x = 19.

The lines y = 3x + 7 and y = 64 meet at x = 19141618202224455055606570758085x = 19y = 3x + 7y = 64
The lines y = 3x + 7 and y = 64 meet at x = 19. 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+7=643x + 7 = 64
  2. 2

    Subtract 7 from both sides:

    3x+7−7=64−7 ⇒ 3x=573x + 7 - 7 = 64 - 7 \ \Rightarrow\ 3x = 57
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 3:

    3x3=573 ⇒ x=19\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{57}{3} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 19
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 19 back into the equation.
