The solution of 7x + 3 = 136 is x = 19.

The lines y = 7x + 3 and y = 136 meet at x = 19141618202224100120140160180x = 19y = 7x + 3y = 136
The lines y = 7x + 3 and y = 136 meet at x = 19. 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+3=1367x + 3 = 136
  2. 2

    Subtract 3 from both sides:

    7x+3−3=136−3 ⇒ 7x=1337x + 3 - 3 = 136 - 3 \ \Rightarrow\ 7x = 133
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 7:

    7x7=1337 ⇒ x=19\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{133}{7} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 19
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 19 back into the equation.
