The lines y = 7x + 10 and y = 129 meet at x = 17. 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.

    7x+10=1297x + 10 = 129
  2. 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides:

    7x+10−10=129−10 ⇒ 7x=1197x + 10 - 10 = 129 - 10 \ \Rightarrow\ 7x = 119
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 7:

    7x7=1197 ⇒ x=17\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{119}{7} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 17
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 17 back into the equation.
