Solve 7x + 14 = 49

The solution of 7x + 14 = 49 is x = 5.

The lines y = 7x + 14 and y = 49 meet at x = 524681020406080x = 5y = 7x + 14y = 49
The lines y = 7x + 14 and y = 49 meet at x = 5. 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=497x + 14 = 49
  2. 2

    Subtract 14 from both sides:

    7x+14−14=49−14 ⇒ 7x=357x + 14 - 14 = 49 - 14 \ \Rightarrow\ 7x = 35
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 7:

    7x7=357 ⇒ x=5\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{35}{7} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 5
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 5 back into the equation.
