Solve 7x + 12 = 103

The solution of 7x + 12 = 103 is x = 13.

The lines y = 7x + 12 and y = 103 meet at x = 13810121416186080100120140x = 13y = 7x + 12y = 103
The lines y = 7x + 12 and y = 103 meet at x = 13. 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+12=1037x + 12 = 103
  2. 2

    Subtract 12 from both sides:

    7x+12−12=103−12 ⇒ 7x=917x + 12 - 12 = 103 - 12 \ \Rightarrow\ 7x = 91
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 7:

    7x7=917 ⇒ x=13\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{91}{7} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 13
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 13 back into the equation.
