The lines y = 5x + 9 and y = 104 meet at x = 19. 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+9=1045x + 9 = 104
  2. 2

    Subtract 9 from both sides:

    5x+9−9=104−9 ⇒ 5x=955x + 9 - 9 = 104 - 9 \ \Rightarrow\ 5x = 95
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 5:

    5x5=955 ⇒ x=19\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{95}{5} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 19
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 19 back into the equation.
