Solve 4x + 10 = 26

The solution of 4x + 10 = 26 is x = 4.

The lines y = 4x + 10 and y = 26 meet at x = 4-22468101020304050x = 4y = 4x + 10y = 26
The lines y = 4x + 10 and y = 26 meet at x = 4. 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+10=264x + 10 = 26
  2. 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides:

    4x+10−10=26−10 ⇒ 4x=164x + 10 - 10 = 26 - 10 \ \Rightarrow\ 4x = 16
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 4:

    4x4=164 ⇒ x=4\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{16}{4} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 4
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 4 back into the equation.
