Solve 11x + 2 = 90

The solution of 11x + 2 = 90 is x = 8.

The lines y = 11x + 2 and y = 90 meet at x = 8246810121420406080100120140160x = 8y = 11x + 2y = 90
The lines y = 11x + 2 and y = 90 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.

  2. 2

    Subtract 2 from both sides:

    11x+2−2=90−2 ⇒ 11x=8811x + 2 - 2 = 90 - 2 \ \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.
