Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 4x + 2 and y = 58 meet at x = 148101214161820304050607080x = 14y = 4x + 2y = 58
The lines y = 4x + 2 and y = 58 meet at x = 14. 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=584x + 2 = 58
  2. 2

    Subtract 2 from both sides:

    4x+2−2=58−2 ⇒ 4x=564x + 2 - 2 = 58 - 2 \ \Rightarrow\ 4x = 56
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 4:

    4x4=564 ⇒ x=14\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{56}{4} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 14
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 14 back into the equation.
