Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 5x + 14 and y = 44 meet at x = 6246810121020304050607080x = 6y = 5x + 14y = 44
The lines y = 5x + 14 and y = 44 meet at x = 6. 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=445x + 14 = 44
  2. 2

    Subtract 14 from both sides:

    5x+14−14=44−14 ⇒ 5x=305x + 14 - 14 = 44 - 14 \ \Rightarrow\ 5x = 30
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 5:

    5x5=305 ⇒ x=6\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{30}{5} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 6
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 6 back into the equation.
