Solve 7x + 3 = 45

The solution of 7x + 3 = 45 is x = 6.

The lines y = 7x + 3 and y = 45 meet at x = 62468101220406080x = 6y = 7x + 3y = 45
The lines y = 7x + 3 and y = 45 meet at x = 6. 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=457x + 3 = 45
  2. 2

    Subtract 3 from both sides:

    7x+3−3=45−3 ⇒ 7x=427x + 3 - 3 = 45 - 3 \ \Rightarrow\ 7x = 42
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 7:

    7x7=427 ⇒ x=6\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{42}{7} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 6
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 6 back into the equation.
