Solve 9x + 3 = 30

The solution of 9x + 3 = 30 is x = 3.

The lines y = 9x + 3 and y = 30 meet at x = 3-22468-2020406080x = 3y = 9x + 3y = 30
The lines y = 9x + 3 and y = 30 meet at x = 3. 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.

    9x+3=309x + 3 = 30
  2. 2

    Subtract 3 from both sides:

    9x+3−3=30−3 ⇒ 9x=279x + 3 - 3 = 30 - 3 \ \Rightarrow\ 9x = 27
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 9:

    9x9=279 ⇒ x=3\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{27}{9} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 3
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 3 back into the equation.
