Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 11x + 8 and y = 41 meet at x = 3-22468-2020406080100120x = 3y = 11x + 8y = 41
The lines y = 11x + 8 and y = 41 meet at x = 3. 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=4111x + 8 = 41
  2. 2

    Subtract 8 from both sides:

    11x+8−8=41−8 ⇒ 11x=3311x + 8 - 8 = 41 - 8 \ \Rightarrow\ 11x = 33
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 11:

    11x11=3311 ⇒ x=3\frac{11x}{11} = \frac{33}{11} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 3
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 3 back into the equation.
