Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 7x + 2 and y = 65 meet at x = 946810121420406080100x = 9y = 7x + 2y = 65
The lines y = 7x + 2 and y = 65 meet at x = 9. 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=657x + 2 = 65
  2. 2

    Subtract 2 from both sides:

    7x+2−2=65−2 ⇒ 7x=637x + 2 - 2 = 65 - 2 \ \Rightarrow\ 7x = 63
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 7:

    7x7=637 ⇒ x=9\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{63}{7} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 9
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 9 back into the equation.
