Solve 4x + 8 = 32

The solution of 4x + 8 = 32 is x = 6.

The lines y = 4x + 8 and y = 32 meet at x = 624681012102030405060x = 6y = 4x + 8y = 32
The lines y = 4x + 8 and y = 32 meet at x = 6. 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+8=324x + 8 = 32
  2. 2

    Subtract 8 from both sides:

    4x+8−8=32−8 ⇒ 4x=244x + 8 - 8 = 32 - 8 \ \Rightarrow\ 4x = 24
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 4:

    4x4=244 ⇒ x=6\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{24}{4} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 6
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 6 back into the equation.
