The lines y = 7x + 12 and y = 131 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+12=1317x + 12 = 131
  2. 2

    Subtract 12 from both sides:

    7x+12−12=131−12 ⇒ 7x=1197x + 12 - 12 = 131 - 12 \ \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.
