Solve 7x + 11 = 81

The solution of 7x + 11 = 81 is x = 10.

The lines y = 7x + 11 and y = 81 meet at x = 1046810121416406080100120x = 10y = 7x + 11y = 81
The lines y = 7x + 11 and y = 81 meet at x = 10. 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=817x + 11 = 81
  2. 2

    Subtract 11 from both sides:

    7x+11−11=81−11 ⇒ 7x=707x + 11 - 11 = 81 - 11 \ \Rightarrow\ 7x = 70
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 7:

    7x7=707 ⇒ x=10\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{70}{7} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 10
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 10 back into the equation.
