Solve 7x + 5 = 82

The solution of 7x + 5 = 82 is x = 11.

The lines y = 7x + 5 and y = 82 meet at x = 116810121416406080100120x = 11y = 7x + 5y = 82
The lines y = 7x + 5 and y = 82 meet at x = 11. 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+5=827x + 5 = 82
  2. 2

    Subtract 5 from both sides:

    7x+5−5=82−5 ⇒ 7x=777x + 5 - 5 = 82 - 5 \ \Rightarrow\ 7x = 77
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 7:

    7x7=777 ⇒ x=11\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{77}{7} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 11
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 11 back into the equation.
