Solve 7x + 14 = 133

The solution of 7x + 14 = 133 is x = 17.

The lines y = 7x + 14 and y = 133 meet at x = 17121416182022100120140160180x = 17y = 7x + 14y = 133
The lines y = 7x + 14 and y = 133 meet at x = 17. 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+14=1337x + 14 = 133
  2. 2

    Subtract 14 from both sides:

    7x+14−14=133−14 ⇒ 7x=1197x + 14 - 14 = 133 - 14 \ \Rightarrow\ 7x = 119
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 7:

    7x7=1197 ⇒ x=17\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{119}{7} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 17
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 17 back into the equation.
