Solve 4x + 13 = 65

The solution of 4x + 13 = 65 is x = 13.

The lines y = 4x + 13 and y = 65 meet at x = 1381012141618405060708090x = 13y = 4x + 13y = 65
The lines y = 4x + 13 and y = 65 meet at x = 13. 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.

  2. 2

    Subtract 13 from both sides:

    4x+13−13=65−13 ⇒ 4x=524x + 13 - 13 = 65 - 13 \ \Rightarrow\ 4x = 52
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 4:

    4x4=524 ⇒ x=13\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{52}{4} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 13
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 13 back into the equation.
