The lines y = 4x + 12 and y = 60 meet at x = 126810121416184050607080x = 12y = 4x + 12y = 60
The lines y = 4x + 12 and y = 60 meet at x = 12. 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+12=604x + 12 = 60
  2. 2

    Subtract 12 from both sides:

    4x+12−12=60−12 ⇒ 4x=484x + 12 - 12 = 60 - 12 \ \Rightarrow\ 4x = 48
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 4:

    4x4=484 ⇒ x=12\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{48}{4} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 12
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 12 back into the equation.
