Solve 8x + 10 = 50

The solution of 8x + 10 = 50 is x = 5.

The lines y = 8x + 10 and y = 50 meet at x = 524681020406080100x = 5y = 8x + 10y = 50
The lines y = 8x + 10 and y = 50 meet at x = 5. 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=508x + 10 = 50
  2. 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides:

    8x+10−10=50−10 ⇒ 8x=408x + 10 - 10 = 50 - 10 \ \Rightarrow\ 8x = 40
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 8:

    8x8=408 ⇒ x=5\frac{8x}{8} = \frac{40}{8} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 5
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 5 back into the equation.
