Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 4x + 3 and y = 59 meet at x = 1481012141618204050607080x = 14y = 4x + 3y = 59
The lines y = 4x + 3 and y = 59 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+3=594x + 3 = 59
  2. 2

    Subtract 3 from both sides:

    4x+3−3=59−3 ⇒ 4x=564x + 3 - 3 = 59 - 3 \ \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.
