Solve 4x + 11 = 55

The solution of 4x + 11 = 55 is x = 11.

The lines y = 4x + 11 and y = 55 meet at x = 116810121416304050607080x = 11y = 4x + 11y = 55
The lines y = 4x + 11 and y = 55 meet at x = 11. 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.

    4x+11=554x + 11 = 55
  2. 2

    Subtract 11 from both sides:

    4x+11−11=55−11 ⇒ 4x=444x + 11 - 11 = 55 - 11 \ \Rightarrow\ 4x = 44
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 4:

    4x4=444 ⇒ x=11\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{44}{4} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 11
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 11 back into the equation.
