Solve 4x + 3 = 79

The solution of 4x + 3 = 79 is x = 19.

The lines y = 4x + 3 and y = 79 meet at x = 1914161820222460708090100x = 19y = 4x + 3y = 79
The lines y = 4x + 3 and y = 79 meet at x = 19. 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=794x + 3 = 79
  2. 2

    Subtract 3 from both sides:

    4x+3−3=79−3 ⇒ 4x=764x + 3 - 3 = 79 - 3 \ \Rightarrow\ 4x = 76
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 4:

    4x4=764 ⇒ x=19\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{76}{4} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 19
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 19 back into the equation.
