The lines y = 11x + 5 and y = 104 meet at x = 9468101214406080100120140160180x = 9y = 11x + 5y = 104
The lines y = 11x + 5 and y = 104 meet at x = 9. 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+5=10411x + 5 = 104
  2. 2

    Subtract 5 from both sides:

    11x+5−5=104−5 ⇒ 11x=9911x + 5 - 5 = 104 - 5 \ \Rightarrow\ 11x = 99
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 11:

    11x11=9911 ⇒ x=9\frac{11x}{11} = \frac{99}{11} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 9
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 9 back into the equation.
