The lines y = 12x + 8 and y = 236 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+8=23612x + 8 = 236
  2. 2

    Subtract 8 from both sides:

    12x+8−8=236−8 ⇒ 12x=22812x + 8 - 8 = 236 - 8 \ \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.
