Solve 11x + 2 = 24

The solution of 11x + 2 = 24 is x = 2.

The lines y = 11x + 2 and y = 24 meet at x = 2-4-22468-40-2020406080100x = 2y = 11x + 2y = 24
The lines y = 11x + 2 and y = 24 meet at x = 2. 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+2=2411x + 2 = 24
  2. 2

    Subtract 2 from both sides:

    11x+2−2=24−2 ⇒ 11x=2211x + 2 - 2 = 24 - 2 \ \Rightarrow\ 11x = 22
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 11:

    11x11=2211 ⇒ x=2\frac{11x}{11} = \frac{22}{11} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 2

    Check: put x = 2 back into the equation.
