The lines y = 11x + 14 and y = 179 meet at x = 15. 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=17911x + 14 = 179
  2. 2

    Subtract 14 from both sides:

    11x+14−14=179−14 ⇒ 11x=16511x + 14 - 14 = 179 - 14 \ \Rightarrow\ 11x = 165
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 11:

    11x11=16511 ⇒ x=15\frac{11x}{11} = \frac{165}{11} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 15
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 15 back into the equation.
