Solve 4x + 3 = 39

The solution of 4x + 3 = 39 is x = 9.

The lines y = 4x + 3 and y = 39 meet at x = 94681012142030405060x = 9y = 4x + 3y = 39
The lines y = 4x + 3 and y = 39 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.

    4x+3=394x + 3 = 39
  2. 2

    Subtract 3 from both sides:

    4x+3−3=39−3 ⇒ 4x=364x + 3 - 3 = 39 - 3 \ \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.
