Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 11x + 8 and y = 85 meet at x = 72468101220406080100120140160x = 7y = 11x + 8y = 85
The lines y = 11x + 8 and y = 85 meet at x = 7. 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=8511x + 8 = 85
  2. 2

    Subtract 8 from both sides:

    11x+8−8=85−8 ⇒ 11x=7711x + 8 - 8 = 85 - 8 \ \Rightarrow\ 11x = 77
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 11:

    11x11=7711 ⇒ x=7\frac{11x}{11} = \frac{77}{11} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 7
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 7 back into the equation.
