Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 5x + 13 and y = 48 meet at x = 72468101220304050607080x = 7y = 5x + 13y = 48
The lines y = 5x + 13 and y = 48 meet at x = 7. 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+13=485x + 13 = 48
  2. 2

    Subtract 13 from both sides:

    5x+13−13=48−13 ⇒ 5x=355x + 13 - 13 = 48 - 13 \ \Rightarrow\ 5x = 35
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 5:

    5x5=355 ⇒ x=7\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{35}{5} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 7
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 7 back into the equation.
