Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 11x + 1 and y = 89 meet at x = 8246810121420406080100120140160x = 8y = 11x + 1y = 89
The lines y = 11x + 1 and y = 89 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.

    11x+1=8911x + 1 = 89
  2. 2

    Subtract 1 from both sides:

    11x+1−1=89−1 ⇒ 11x=8811x + 1 - 1 = 89 - 1 \ \Rightarrow\ 11x = 88
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 11:

    11x11=8811 ⇒ x=8\frac{11x}{11} = \frac{88}{11} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 8
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 8 back into the equation.
