The lines y = 12x + 6 and y = 234 meet at x = 19. 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+6=23412x + 6 = 234
  2. 2

    Subtract 6 from both sides:

    12x+6−6=234−6 ⇒ 12x=22812x + 6 - 6 = 234 - 6 \ \Rightarrow\ 12x = 228
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 12:

    12x12=22812 ⇒ x=19\frac{12x}{12} = \frac{228}{12} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 19
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 19 back into the equation.
