Solve 11x + 12 = 100

The solution of 11x + 12 = 100 is x = 8.

The lines y = 11x + 12 and y = 100 meet at x = 82468101214406080100120140160x = 8y = 11x + 12y = 100
The lines y = 11x + 12 and y = 100 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+12=10011x + 12 = 100
  2. 2

    Subtract 12 from both sides:

    11x+12−12=100−12 ⇒ 11x=8811x + 12 - 12 = 100 - 12 \ \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.
