Solve 11x + 2 = 46

The solution of 11x + 2 = 46 is x = 4.

The lines y = 11x + 2 and y = 46 meet at x = 4-2246810-2020406080100120x = 4y = 11x + 2y = 46
The lines y = 11x + 2 and y = 46 meet at x = 4. 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=4611x + 2 = 46
  2. 2

    Subtract 2 from both sides:

    11x+2−2=46−2 ⇒ 11x=4411x + 2 - 2 = 46 - 2 \ \Rightarrow\ 11x = 44
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 11:

    11x11=4411 ⇒ x=4\frac{11x}{11} = \frac{44}{11} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 4
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 4 back into the equation.
