Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 5x + 2 and y = 67 meet at x = 1381012141618405060708090100x = 13y = 5x + 2y = 67
The lines y = 5x + 2 and y = 67 meet at x = 13. 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+2=675x + 2 = 67
  2. 2

    Subtract 2 from both sides:

    5x+2−2=67−2 ⇒ 5x=655x + 2 - 2 = 67 - 2 \ \Rightarrow\ 5x = 65
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 5:

    5x5=655 ⇒ x=13\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{65}{5} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 13
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 13 back into the equation.
