Solve 7x + 1 = 113

The solution of 7x + 1 = 113 is x = 16.

The lines y = 7x + 1 and y = 113 meet at x = 161012141618202280100120140160x = 16y = 7x + 1y = 113
The lines y = 7x + 1 and y = 113 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.

    7x+1=1137x + 1 = 113
  2. 2

    Subtract 1 from both sides:

    7x+1−1=113−1 ⇒ 7x=1127x + 1 - 1 = 113 - 1 \ \Rightarrow\ 7x = 112
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 7:

    7x7=1127 ⇒ x=16\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{112}{7} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 16
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 16 back into the equation.
