The lines y = 11x + 3 and y = 212 meet at x = 19141618202224140160180200220240260280x = 19y = 11x + 3y = 212
The lines y = 11x + 3 and y = 212 meet at x = 19. 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=21211x + 3 = 212
  2. 2

    Subtract 3 from both sides:

    11x+3−3=212−3 ⇒ 11x=20911x + 3 - 3 = 212 - 3 \ \Rightarrow\ 11x = 209
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 11:

    11x11=20911 ⇒ x=19\frac{11x}{11} = \frac{209}{11} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 19
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 19 back into the equation.
