The lines y = 12x + 8 and y = 116 meet at x = 9. 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+8=11612x + 8 = 116
  2. 2

    Subtract 8 from both sides:

    12x+8−8=116−8 ⇒ 12x=10812x + 8 - 8 = 116 - 8 \ \Rightarrow\ 12x = 108
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 12:

    12x12=10812 ⇒ x=9\frac{12x}{12} = \frac{108}{12} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 9
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 9 back into the equation.
