Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 4x + 5 and y = 37 meet at x = 82468101214102030405060x = 8y = 4x + 5y = 37
The lines y = 4x + 5 and y = 37 meet at x = 8. 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+5=374x + 5 = 37
  2. 2

    Subtract 5 from both sides:

    4x+5−5=37−5 ⇒ 4x=324x + 5 - 5 = 37 - 5 \ \Rightarrow\ 4x = 32
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 4:

    4x4=324 ⇒ x=8\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{32}{4} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 8
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 8 back into the equation.
