Solve 4x + 3 = 75

The solution of 4x + 3 = 75 is x = 18.

The lines y = 4x + 3 and y = 75 meet at x = 18121416182022245060708090100x = 18y = 4x + 3y = 75
The lines y = 4x + 3 and y = 75 meet at x = 18. 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=754x + 3 = 75
  2. 2

    Subtract 3 from both sides:

    4x+3−3=75−3 ⇒ 4x=724x + 3 - 3 = 75 - 3 \ \Rightarrow\ 4x = 72
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 4:

    4x4=724 ⇒ x=18\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{72}{4} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 18
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 18 back into the equation.
