The lines y = 11x + 14 and y = 201 meet at x = 17121416182022140160180200220240260280x = 17y = 11x + 14y = 201
The lines y = 11x + 14 and y = 201 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+14=20111x + 14 = 201
  2. 2

    Subtract 14 from both sides:

    11x+14−14=201−14 ⇒ 11x=18711x + 14 - 14 = 201 - 14 \ \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.
