Solve 7x + 10 = 150

The solution of 7x + 10 = 150 is x = 20.

The lines y = 7x + 10 and y = 150 meet at x = 2014161820222426100120140160180200x = 20y = 7x + 10y = 150
The lines y = 7x + 10 and y = 150 meet at x = 20. 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+10=1507x + 10 = 150
  2. 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides:

    7x+10−10=150−10 ⇒ 7x=1407x + 10 - 10 = 150 - 10 \ \Rightarrow\ 7x = 140
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 7:

    7x7=1407 ⇒ x=20\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{140}{7} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 20
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 20 back into the equation.
