Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 5x + 8 and y = 63 meet at x = 11681012141630405060708090x = 11y = 5x + 8y = 63
The lines y = 5x + 8 and y = 63 meet at x = 11. 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+8=635x + 8 = 63
  2. 2

    Subtract 8 from both sides:

    5x+8−8=63−8 ⇒ 5x=555x + 8 - 8 = 63 - 8 \ \Rightarrow\ 5x = 55
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 5:

    5x5=555 ⇒ x=11\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{55}{5} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 11
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 11 back into the equation.
