The lines y = 12x + 12 and y = 192 meet at x = 15. 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+12=19212x + 12 = 192
  2. 2

    Subtract 12 from both sides:

    12x+12−12=192−12 ⇒ 12x=18012x + 12 - 12 = 192 - 12 \ \Rightarrow\ 12x = 180
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 12:

    12x12=18012 ⇒ x=15\frac{12x}{12} = \frac{180}{12} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 15
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 15 back into the equation.
