The lines y = 12x + 12 and y = 84 meet at x = 6. 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=8412x + 12 = 84
  2. 2

    Subtract 12 from both sides:

    12x+12−12=84−12 ⇒ 12x=7212x + 12 - 12 = 84 - 12 \ \Rightarrow\ 12x = 72
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 12:

    12x12=7212 ⇒ x=6\frac{12x}{12} = \frac{72}{12} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 6
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 6 back into the equation.
