Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 5x + 10 and y = 50 meet at x = 8246810121420304050607080x = 8y = 5x + 10y = 50
The lines y = 5x + 10 and y = 50 meet at x = 8. 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.

    5x+10=505x + 10 = 50
  2. 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides:

    5x+10−10=50−10 ⇒ 5x=405x + 10 - 10 = 50 - 10 \ \Rightarrow\ 5x = 40
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 5:

    5x5=405 ⇒ x=8\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{40}{5} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 8
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 8 back into the equation.
