Solve 4x + 3 = 83

The solution of 4x + 3 = 83 is x = 20.

The lines y = 4x + 3 and y = 83 meet at x = 201416182022242660708090100110x = 20y = 4x + 3y = 83
The lines y = 4x + 3 and y = 83 meet at x = 20. 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=834x + 3 = 83
  2. 2

    Subtract 3 from both sides:

    4x+3−3=83−3 ⇒ 4x=804x + 3 - 3 = 83 - 3 \ \Rightarrow\ 4x = 80
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 4:

    4x4=804 ⇒ x=20\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{80}{4} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 20
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 20 back into the equation.
