Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 11x + 2 and y = 57 meet at x = 5246810-2020406080100120x = 5y = 11x + 2y = 57
The lines y = 11x + 2 and y = 57 meet at x = 5. 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=5711x + 2 = 57
  2. 2

    Subtract 2 from both sides:

    11x+2−2=57−2 ⇒ 11x=5511x + 2 - 2 = 57 - 2 \ \Rightarrow\ 11x = 55
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 11:

    11x11=5511 ⇒ x=5\frac{11x}{11} = \frac{55}{11} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 5
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 5 back into the equation.
