The lines y = 10x + 12 and y = 92 meet at x = 8246810121420406080100120140160x = 8y = 10x + 12y = 92
The lines y = 10x + 12 and y = 92 meet at x = 8. 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.

    10x+12=9210x + 12 = 92
  2. 2

    Subtract 12 from both sides:

    10x+12−12=92−12 ⇒ 10x=8010x + 12 - 12 = 92 - 12 \ \Rightarrow\ 10x = 80
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 10:

    10x10=8010 ⇒ x=8\frac{10x}{10} = \frac{80}{10} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 8
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 8 back into the equation.
