The lines y = 4x + 15 and y = 95 meet at x = 2014161820222426708090100110120x = 20y = 4x + 15y = 95
The lines y = 4x + 15 and y = 95 meet at x = 20. 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.

  2. 2

    Subtract 15 from both sides:

    4x+15−15=95−15 ⇒ 4x=804x + 15 - 15 = 95 - 15 \ \Rightarrow\ 4x = 80
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 4:

    4x4=804 ⇒ x=20\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{80}{4} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 20
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 20 back into the equation.
