Solve 12x + 11 = 35

The solution of 12x + 11 = 35 is x = 2.

The lines y = 12x + 11 and y = 35 meet at x = 2-4-22468-40-2020406080100120x = 2y = 12x + 11y = 35
The lines y = 12x + 11 and y = 35 meet at x = 2. 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+11=3512x + 11 = 35
  2. 2

    Subtract 11 from both sides:

    12x+11−11=35−11 ⇒ 12x=2412x + 11 - 11 = 35 - 11 \ \Rightarrow\ 12x = 24
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 12:

    12x12=2412 ⇒ x=2\frac{12x}{12} = \frac{24}{12} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 2
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 2 back into the equation.
