Solve 5x + 1 = 11

The solution of 5x + 1 = 11 is x = 2.

Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 5x + 1 and y = 11 meet at x = 2-4-22468-20-1010203040x = 2y = 5x + 1y = 11
The lines y = 5x + 1 and y = 11 meet at x = 2. 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.

    5x+1=115x + 1 = 11
  2. 2

    Subtract 1 from both sides:

    5x+1−1=11−1 ⇒ 5x=105x + 1 - 1 = 11 - 1 \ \Rightarrow\ 5x = 10
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 5:

    5x5=105 ⇒ x=2\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{10}{5} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 2
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 2 back into the equation.
