The lines y = 6x + 9 and y = 123 meet at x = 191416182022248090100110120130140150160x = 19y = 6x + 9y = 123
The lines y = 6x + 9 and y = 123 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.

    6x+9=1236x + 9 = 123
  2. 2

    Subtract 9 from both sides:

    6x+9−9=123−9 ⇒ 6x=1146x + 9 - 9 = 123 - 9 \ \Rightarrow\ 6x = 114
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 6:

    6x6=1146 ⇒ x=19\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{114}{6} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 19
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 19 back into the equation.
