Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 5x + 5 and y = 45 meet at x = 824681012141020304050607080x = 8y = 5x + 5y = 45
The lines y = 5x + 5 and y = 45 meet at x = 8. 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+5=455x + 5 = 45
  2. 2

    Subtract 5 from both sides:

    5x+5−5=45−5 ⇒ 5x=405x + 5 - 5 = 45 - 5 \ \Rightarrow\ 5x = 40
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 5:

    5x5=405 ⇒ x=8\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{40}{5} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 8
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 8 back into the equation.
