The lines y = 11x + 1 and y = 188 meet at x = 17. 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.

    11x+1=18811x + 1 = 188
  2. 2

    Subtract 1 from both sides:

    11x+1−1=188−1 ⇒ 11x=18711x + 1 - 1 = 188 - 1 \ \Rightarrow\ 11x = 187
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 11:

    11x11=18711 ⇒ x=17\frac{11x}{11} = \frac{187}{11} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 17
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 17 back into the equation.
