The lines y = 3x + 12 and y = 63 meet at x = 17. 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+12=633x + 12 = 63
  2. 2

    Subtract 12 from both sides:

    3x+12−12=63−12 ⇒ 3x=513x + 12 - 12 = 63 - 12 \ \Rightarrow\ 3x = 51
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 3:

    3x3=513 ⇒ x=17\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{51}{3} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 17
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 17 back into the equation.
