The lines y = 11x + 15 and y = 103 meet at x = 82468101214406080100120140160180x = 8y = 11x + 15y = 103
The lines y = 11x + 15 and y = 103 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+15=10311x + 15 = 103
  2. 2

    Subtract 15 from both sides:

    11x+15−15=103−15 ⇒ 11x=8811x + 15 - 15 = 103 - 15 \ \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.
