Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 4x + 7 and y = 27 meet at x = 52468101020304050x = 5y = 4x + 7y = 27
The lines y = 4x + 7 and y = 27 meet at x = 5. 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+7=274x + 7 = 27
  2. 2

    Subtract 7 from both sides:

    4x+7−7=27−7 ⇒ 4x=204x + 7 - 7 = 27 - 7 \ \Rightarrow\ 4x = 20
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 4:

    4x4=204 ⇒ x=5\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{20}{4} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 5
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 5 back into the equation.
