The lines y = 11x + 5 and y = 49 meet at x = 4-2246810-2020406080100120x = 4y = 11x + 5y = 49
The lines y = 11x + 5 and y = 49 meet at x = 4. 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=4911x + 5 = 49
  2. 2

    Subtract 5 from both sides:

    11x+5−5=49−5 ⇒ 11x=4411x + 5 - 5 = 49 - 5 \ \Rightarrow\ 11x = 44
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 11:

    11x11=4411 ⇒ x=4\frac{11x}{11} = \frac{44}{11} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 4
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 4 back into the equation.
