Solve 11x + 9 = 130

The solution of 11x + 9 = 130 is x = 11.

The lines y = 11x + 9 and y = 130 meet at x = 1168101214166080100120140160180200x = 11y = 11x + 9y = 130
The lines y = 11x + 9 and y = 130 meet at x = 11. 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+9=13011x + 9 = 130
  2. 2

    Subtract 9 from both sides:

    11x+9−9=130−9 ⇒ 11x=12111x + 9 - 9 = 130 - 9 \ \Rightarrow\ 11x = 121
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 11:

    11x11=12111 ⇒ x=11\frac{11x}{11} = \frac{121}{11} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 11
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 11 back into the equation.
