The lines y = 11x + 4 and y = 191 meet at x = 17121416182022120140160180200220240260x = 17y = 11x + 4y = 191
The lines y = 11x + 4 and y = 191 meet at x = 17. 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=19111x + 4 = 191
  2. 2

    Subtract 4 from both sides:

    11x+4−4=191−4 ⇒ 11x=18711x + 4 - 4 = 191 - 4 \ \Rightarrow\ 11x = 187
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 11:

    11x11=18711 ⇒ x=17\frac{11x}{11} = \frac{187}{11} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 17
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 17 back into the equation.
