Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 11x + 2 and y = 79 meet at x = 72468101220406080100120140x = 7y = 11x + 2y = 79
The lines y = 11x + 2 and y = 79 meet at x = 7. 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=7911x + 2 = 79
  2. 2

    Subtract 2 from both sides:

    11x+2−2=79−2 ⇒ 11x=7711x + 2 - 2 = 79 - 2 \ \Rightarrow\ 11x = 77
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 11:

    11x11=7711 ⇒ x=7\frac{11x}{11} = \frac{77}{11} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 7
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 7 back into the equation.
