The lines y = 4x + 5 and y = 65 meet at x = 15101214161820405060708090x = 15y = 4x + 5y = 65
The lines y = 4x + 5 and y = 65 meet at x = 15. 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=654x + 5 = 65
  2. 2

    Subtract 5 from both sides:

    4x+5−5=65−5 ⇒ 4x=604x + 5 - 5 = 65 - 5 \ \Rightarrow\ 4x = 60
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 4:

    4x4=604 ⇒ x=15\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{60}{4} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 15
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 15 back into the equation.
