Solve 5x + 14 = 64

The solution of 5x + 14 = 64 is x = 10.

The lines y = 5x + 14 and y = 64 meet at x = 104681012141630405060708090100x = 10y = 5x + 14y = 64
The lines y = 5x + 14 and y = 64 meet at x = 10. 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+14=645x + 14 = 64
  2. 2

    Subtract 14 from both sides:

    5x+14−14=64−14 ⇒ 5x=505x + 14 - 14 = 64 - 14 \ \Rightarrow\ 5x = 50
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 5:

    5x5=505 ⇒ x=10\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{50}{5} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 10
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 10 back into the equation.
