Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 3x + 3 and y = 15 meet at x = 4-2246810-55101520253035x = 4y = 3x + 3y = 15
The lines y = 3x + 3 and y = 15 meet at x = 4. 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+3=153x + 3 = 15
  2. 2

    Subtract 3 from both sides:

    3x+3−3=15−3 ⇒ 3x=123x + 3 - 3 = 15 - 3 \ \Rightarrow\ 3x = 12
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 3:

    3x3=123 ⇒ x=4\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{12}{3} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 4
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 4 back into the equation.
