Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 10x + 7 and y = 97 meet at x = 9468101214406080100120140160x = 9y = 10x + 7y = 97
The lines y = 10x + 7 and y = 97 meet at x = 9. 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+7=9710x + 7 = 97
  2. 2

    Subtract 7 from both sides:

    10x+7−7=97−7 ⇒ 10x=9010x + 7 - 7 = 97 - 7 \ \Rightarrow\ 10x = 90
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 10:

    10x10=9010 ⇒ x=9\frac{10x}{10} = \frac{90}{10} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 9
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 9 back into the equation.
