Solve 4x + 1 = 33

The solution of 4x + 1 = 33 is x = 8.

The lines y = 4x + 1 and y = 33 meet at x = 82468101214102030405060x = 8y = 4x + 1y = 33
The lines y = 4x + 1 and y = 33 meet at x = 8. 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.

    4x+1=334x + 1 = 33
  2. 2

    Subtract 1 from both sides:

    4x+1−1=33−1 ⇒ 4x=324x + 1 - 1 = 33 - 1 \ \Rightarrow\ 4x = 32
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 4:

    4x4=324 ⇒ x=8\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{32}{4} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 8
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 8 back into the equation.
