Solve 4x + 13 = 33

The solution of 4x + 13 = 33 is x = 5.

The lines y = 4x + 13 and y = 33 meet at x = 5246810102030405060x = 5y = 4x + 13y = 33
The lines y = 4x + 13 and y = 33 meet at x = 5. 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+13=334x + 13 = 33
  2. 2

    Subtract 13 from both sides:

    4x+13−13=33−13 ⇒ 4x=204x + 13 - 13 = 33 - 13 \ \Rightarrow\ 4x = 20
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 4:

    4x4=204 ⇒ x=5\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{20}{4} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 5
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 5 back into the equation.
