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=22311x + 14 = 223
  2. 2

    Subtract 14 from both sides:

    11x+14−14=223−14 ⇒ 11x=20911x + 14 - 14 = 223 - 14 \ \Rightarrow\ 11x = 209
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 11:

    11x11=20911 ⇒ x=19\frac{11x}{11} = \frac{209}{11} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 19
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 19 back into the equation.
