Solve 7x āˆ’ 14 = 35

The solution of 7x āˆ’ 14 = 35 is x = 7.

The lines y = 7x āˆ’ 14 and y = 35 meet at x = 72468101220406080x = 7y = 7x āˆ’ 14y = 35
The lines y = 7x āˆ’ 14 and y = 35 meet at x = 7. 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 subtraction, then the multiplication.

    7xāˆ’14=357x - 14 = 35
  2. 2

    Add 14 to both sides:

    7xāˆ’14+14=35+14 ⇒ 7x=497x - 14 + 14 = 35 + 14 \ \Rightarrow\ 7x = 49
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 7:

    7x7=497 ⇒ x=7\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{49}{7} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 7
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 7 back into the equation.
