Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 3x + 1 and y = 28 meet at x = 94681012141015202530354045x = 9y = 3x + 1y = 28
The lines y = 3x + 1 and y = 28 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.

    3x+1=283x + 1 = 28
  2. 2

    Subtract 1 from both sides:

    3x+1−1=28−1 ⇒ 3x=273x + 1 - 1 = 28 - 1 \ \Rightarrow\ 3x = 27
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 3:

    3x3=273 ⇒ x=9\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{27}{3} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 9
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 9 back into the equation.
