The lines y = 5x + 15 and y = 105 meet at x = 1812141618202224708090100110120130140x = 18y = 5x + 15y = 105
The lines y = 5x + 15 and y = 105 meet at x = 18. 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+15=1055x + 15 = 105
  2. 2

    Subtract 15 from both sides:

    5x+15−15=105−15 ⇒ 5x=905x + 15 - 15 = 105 - 15 \ \Rightarrow\ 5x = 90
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 5:

    5x5=905 ⇒ x=18\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{90}{5} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 18
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 18 back into the equation.
