Solve 4x + 10 = 70

The solution of 4x + 10 = 70 is x = 15.

The lines y = 4x + 10 and y = 70 meet at x = 151012141618205060708090x = 15y = 4x + 10y = 70
The lines y = 4x + 10 and y = 70 meet at x = 15. 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=704x + 10 = 70
  2. 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides:

    4x+10−10=70−10 ⇒ 4x=604x + 10 - 10 = 70 - 10 \ \Rightarrow\ 4x = 60
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 4:

    4x4=604 ⇒ x=15\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{60}{4} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 15
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 15 back into the equation.
