Solve 4x + 14 = 34

The solution of 4x + 14 = 34 is x = 5.

The lines y = 4x + 14 and y = 34 meet at x = 5246810102030405060x = 5y = 4x + 14y = 34
The lines y = 4x + 14 and y = 34 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+14=344x + 14 = 34
  2. 2

    Subtract 14 from both sides:

    4x+14−14=34−14 ⇒ 4x=204x + 14 - 14 = 34 - 14 \ \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.
