Solve 4x + 14 = 50

The solution of 4x + 14 = 50 is x = 9.

The lines y = 4x + 14 and y = 50 meet at x = 94681012143040506070x = 9y = 4x + 14y = 50
The lines y = 4x + 14 and y = 50 meet at x = 9. 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 14 from both sides:

    4x+14−14=50−14 ⇒ 4x=364x + 14 - 14 = 50 - 14 \ \Rightarrow\ 4x = 36
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 4:

    4x4=364 ⇒ x=9\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{36}{4} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 9
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 9 back into the equation.
