The lines y = 5x + 14 and y = 109 meet at x = 191416182022248090100110120130140x = 19y = 5x + 14y = 109
The lines y = 5x + 14 and y = 109 meet at x = 19. 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+14=1095x + 14 = 109
  2. 2

    Subtract 14 from both sides:

    5x+14−14=109−14 ⇒ 5x=955x + 14 - 14 = 109 - 14 \ \Rightarrow\ 5x = 95
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 5:

    5x5=955 ⇒ x=19\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{95}{5} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 19
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 19 back into the equation.
