Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 7x + 4 and y = 74 meet at x = 1046810121416406080100120x = 10y = 7x + 4y = 74
The lines y = 7x + 4 and y = 74 meet at x = 10. 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+4=747x + 4 = 74
  2. 2

    Subtract 4 from both sides:

    7x+4−4=74−4 ⇒ 7x=707x + 4 - 4 = 74 - 4 \ \Rightarrow\ 7x = 70
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 7:

    7x7=707 ⇒ x=10\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{70}{7} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 10
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 10 back into the equation.
