Solve 4x + 14 = 26

The solution of 4x + 14 = 26 is x = 3.

The lines y = 4x + 14 and y = 26 meet at x = 3-224681020304050x = 3y = 4x + 14y = 26
The lines y = 4x + 14 and y = 26 meet at x = 3. 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+14=264x + 14 = 26
  2. 2

    Subtract 14 from both sides:

    4x+14−14=26−14 ⇒ 4x=124x + 14 - 14 = 26 - 14 \ \Rightarrow\ 4x = 12
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 4:

    4x4=124 ⇒ x=3\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{12}{4} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 3
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 3 back into the equation.
