Solve 5x + 10 = 90

The solution of 5x + 10 = 90 is x = 16.

The lines y = 5x + 10 and y = 90 meet at x = 161012141618202260708090100110120x = 16y = 5x + 10y = 90
The lines y = 5x + 10 and y = 90 meet at x = 16. 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=905x + 10 = 90
  2. 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides:

    5x+10−10=90−10 ⇒ 5x=805x + 10 - 10 = 90 - 10 \ \Rightarrow\ 5x = 80
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 5:

    5x5=805 ⇒ x=16\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{80}{5} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 16
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 16 back into the equation.
