Solve 7x + 11 = 67

The solution of 7x + 11 = 67 is x = 8.

The lines y = 7x + 11 and y = 67 meet at x = 8246810121420406080100x = 8y = 7x + 11y = 67
The lines y = 7x + 11 and y = 67 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+11=677x + 11 = 67
  2. 2

    Subtract 11 from both sides:

    7x+11−11=67−11 ⇒ 7x=567x + 11 - 11 = 67 - 11 \ \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.
