The lines y = 11x + 3 and y = 179 meet at x = 16. 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+3=17911x + 3 = 179
  2. 2

    Subtract 3 from both sides:

    11x+3−3=179−3 ⇒ 11x=17611x + 3 - 3 = 179 - 3 \ \Rightarrow\ 11x = 176
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 11:

    11x11=17611 ⇒ x=16\frac{11x}{11} = \frac{176}{11} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 16
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 16 back into the equation.
