The lines y = 11x + 14 and y = 102 meet at x = 82468101214406080100120140160180x = 8y = 11x + 14y = 102
The lines y = 11x + 14 and y = 102 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+14=10211x + 14 = 102
  2. 2

    Subtract 14 from both sides:

    11x+14−14=102−14 ⇒ 11x=8811x + 14 - 14 = 102 - 14 \ \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.
