Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 4x + 8 and y = 44 meet at x = 9468101214203040506070x = 9y = 4x + 8y = 44
The lines y = 4x + 8 and y = 44 meet at x = 9. 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+8=444x + 8 = 44
  2. 2

    Subtract 8 from both sides:

    4x+8−8=44−8 ⇒ 4x=364x + 8 - 8 = 44 - 8 \ \Rightarrow\ 4x = 36
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 4:

    4x4=364 ⇒ x=9\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{36}{4} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 9
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 9 back into the equation.
