The lines y = 12x + 10 and y = 226 meet at x = 18. 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.

    12x+10=22612x + 10 = 226
  2. 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides:

    12x+10−10=226−10 ⇒ 12x=21612x + 10 - 10 = 226 - 10 \ \Rightarrow\ 12x = 216
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 12:

    12x12=21612 ⇒ x=18\frac{12x}{12} = \frac{216}{12} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 18
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 18 back into the equation.
