The lines y = 11x + 14 and y = 124 meet at x = 10468101214166080100120140160180200x = 10y = 11x + 14y = 124
The lines y = 11x + 14 and y = 124 meet at x = 10. 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=12411x + 14 = 124
  2. 2

    Subtract 14 from both sides:

    11x+14−14=124−14 ⇒ 11x=11011x + 14 - 14 = 124 - 14 \ \Rightarrow\ 11x = 110
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 11:

    11x11=11011 ⇒ x=10\frac{11x}{11} = \frac{110}{11} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 10
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 10 back into the equation.
