The lines y = 11x + 10 and y = 197 meet at x = 17121416182022120140160180200220240260x = 17y = 11x + 10y = 197
The lines y = 11x + 10 and y = 197 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+10=19711x + 10 = 197
  2. 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides:

    11x+10−10=197−10 ⇒ 11x=18711x + 10 - 10 = 197 - 10 \ \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.
