Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 5x + 12 and y = 62 meet at x = 104681012141630405060708090x = 10y = 5x + 12y = 62
The lines y = 5x + 12 and y = 62 meet at x = 10. 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+12=625x + 12 = 62
  2. 2

    Subtract 12 from both sides:

    5x+12−12=62−12 ⇒ 5x=505x + 12 - 12 = 62 - 12 \ \Rightarrow\ 5x = 50
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 5:

    5x5=505 ⇒ x=10\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{50}{5} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 10
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 10 back into the equation.
