Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 4x + 2 and y = 26 meet at x = 6246810121020304050x = 6y = 4x + 2y = 26
The lines y = 4x + 2 and y = 26 meet at x = 6. 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+2=264x + 2 = 26
  2. 2

    Subtract 2 from both sides:

    4x+2−2=26−2 ⇒ 4x=244x + 2 - 2 = 26 - 2 \ \Rightarrow\ 4x = 24
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 4:

    4x4=244 ⇒ x=6\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{24}{4} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 6
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 6 back into the equation.
