Solve 5x + 5 = 75

The solution of 5x + 5 = 75 is x = 14.

The lines y = 5x + 5 and y = 75 meet at x = 148101214161820405060708090100110x = 14y = 5x + 5y = 75
The lines y = 5x + 5 and y = 75 meet at x = 14. 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+5=755x + 5 = 75
  2. 2

    Subtract 5 from both sides:

    5x+5−5=75−5 ⇒ 5x=705x + 5 - 5 = 75 - 5 \ \Rightarrow\ 5x = 70
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 5:

    5x5=705 ⇒ x=14\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{70}{5} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 14
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 14 back into the equation.
