Solve 11x āˆ’ 14 = 52

The solution of 11x āˆ’ 14 = 52 is x = 6.

The lines y = 11x āˆ’ 14 and y = 52 meet at x = 624681012-2020406080100120x = 6y = 11x āˆ’ 14y = 52
The lines y = 11x āˆ’ 14 and y = 52 meet at x = 6. 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 subtraction, then the multiplication.

    11xāˆ’14=5211x - 14 = 52
  2. 2

    Add 14 to both sides:

    11xāˆ’14+14=52+14 ⇒ 11x=6611x - 14 + 14 = 52 + 14 \ \Rightarrow\ 11x = 66
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 11:

    11x11=6611 ⇒ x=6\frac{11x}{11} = \frac{66}{11} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 6
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 6 back into the equation.
