Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 7x + 11 and y = 88 meet at x = 116810121416406080100120x = 11y = 7x + 11y = 88
The lines y = 7x + 11 and y = 88 meet at x = 11. 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=887x + 11 = 88
  2. 2

    Subtract 11 from both sides:

    7x+11−11=88−11 ⇒ 7x=777x + 11 - 11 = 88 - 11 \ \Rightarrow\ 7x = 77
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 7:

    7x7=777 ⇒ x=11\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{77}{7} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 11
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 11 back into the equation.
