The lines y = 12x + 14 and y = 182 meet at x = 14. 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+14=18212x + 14 = 182
  2. 2

    Subtract 14 from both sides:

    12x+14−14=182−14 ⇒ 12x=16812x + 14 - 14 = 182 - 14 \ \Rightarrow\ 12x = 168
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 12:

    12x12=16812 ⇒ x=14\frac{12x}{12} = \frac{168}{12} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 14
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 14 back into the equation.
