Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 6x + 5 and y = 53 meet at x = 82468101214102030405060708090x = 8y = 6x + 5y = 53
The lines y = 6x + 5 and y = 53 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.

    6x+5=536x + 5 = 53
  2. 2

    Subtract 5 from both sides:

    6x+5−5=53−5 ⇒ 6x=486x + 5 - 5 = 53 - 5 \ \Rightarrow\ 6x = 48
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 6:

    6x6=486 ⇒ x=8\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{48}{6} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 8
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 8 back into the equation.
