Solve 8x + 2 = 106

The solution of 8x + 2 = 106 is x = 13.

The lines y = 8x + 2 and y = 106 meet at x = 13810121416186080100120140160x = 13y = 8x + 2y = 106
The lines y = 8x + 2 and y = 106 meet at x = 13. 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+2=1068x + 2 = 106
  2. 2

    Subtract 2 from both sides:

    8x+2−2=106−2 ⇒ 8x=1048x + 2 - 2 = 106 - 2 \ \Rightarrow\ 8x = 104
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 8:

    8x8=1048 ⇒ x=13\frac{8x}{8} = \frac{104}{8} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 13
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 13 back into the equation.
