Solve 7x + 14 = 7

The solution of 7x + 14 = 7 is x = -1.

Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 7x + 14 and y = 7 meet at x = -1-6-4-224-40-202040x = -1y = 7x + 14y = 7
The lines y = 7x + 14 and y = 7 meet at x = -1. 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+14=77x + 14 = 7
  2. 2

    Subtract 14 from both sides:

    7x+14−14=7−14 ⇒ 7x=−77x + 14 - 14 = 7 - 14 \ \Rightarrow\ 7x = -7
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 7:

    7x7=−77 ⇒ x=−1\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{-7}{7} \ \Rightarrow\ x = -1
  4. 4

    Check: put x = -1 back into the equation.

    7⋅(−1)+14=−7+14=7✓7\cdot(-1) + 14 = -7 + 14 = 7 \checkmark
