The lines y = 7x + 2 and y = 100 meet at x = 14. 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+2=1007x + 2 = 100
  2. 2

    Subtract 2 from both sides:

    7x+2−2=100−2 ⇒ 7x=987x + 2 - 2 = 100 - 2 \ \Rightarrow\ 7x = 98
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 7:

    7x7=987 ⇒ x=14\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{98}{7} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 14
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 14 back into the equation.
