The lines y = 11x + 4 and y = 158 meet at x = 14. 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+4=15811x + 4 = 158
  2. 2

    Subtract 4 from both sides:

    11x+4−4=158−4 ⇒ 11x=15411x + 4 - 4 = 158 - 4 \ \Rightarrow\ 11x = 154
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 11:

    11x11=15411 ⇒ x=14\frac{11x}{11} = \frac{154}{11} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 14
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 14 back into the equation.
