Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 7x + 10 and y = 66 meet at x = 8246810121420406080100x = 8y = 7x + 10y = 66
The lines y = 7x + 10 and y = 66 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.

    7x+10=667x + 10 = 66
  2. 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides:

    7x+10−10=66−10 ⇒ 7x=567x + 10 - 10 = 66 - 10 \ \Rightarrow\ 7x = 56
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 7:

    7x7=567 ⇒ x=8\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{56}{7} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 8
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 8 back into the equation.
