The solution of 7x + 4 = 102 is x = 14.

The lines y = 7x + 4 and y = 102 meet at x = 1481012141618206080100120140x = 14y = 7x + 4y = 102
The lines y = 7x + 4 and y = 102 meet at x = 14. 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+4=1027x + 4 = 102
  2. 2

    Subtract 4 from both sides:

    7x+4−4=102−4 ⇒ 7x=987x + 4 - 4 = 102 - 4 \ \Rightarrow\ 7x = 98
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 7:

    7x7=987 ⇒ x=14\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{98}{7} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 14
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 14 back into the equation.
