The lines y = 11x + 8 and y = 162 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+8=16211x + 8 = 162
  2. 2

    Subtract 8 from both sides:

    11x+8−8=162−8 ⇒ 11x=15411x + 8 - 8 = 162 - 8 \ \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.
