Solve 8x + 10 = 146

The solution of 8x + 10 = 146 is x = 17.

The lines y = 8x + 10 and y = 146 meet at x = 17121416182022100120140160180200x = 17y = 8x + 10y = 146
The lines y = 8x + 10 and y = 146 meet at x = 17. 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.

    8x+10=1468x + 10 = 146
  2. 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides:

    8x+10−10=146−10 ⇒ 8x=1368x + 10 - 10 = 146 - 10 \ \Rightarrow\ 8x = 136
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 8:

    8x8=1368 ⇒ x=17\frac{8x}{8} = \frac{136}{8} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 17
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 17 back into the equation.
