Solve 7x + 9 = 107

The solution of 7x + 9 = 107 is x = 14.

The lines y = 7x + 9 and y = 107 meet at x = 1481012141618206080100120140x = 14y = 7x + 9y = 107
The lines y = 7x + 9 and y = 107 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+9=1077x + 9 = 107
  2. 2

    Subtract 9 from both sides:

    7x+9−9=107−9 ⇒ 7x=987x + 9 - 9 = 107 - 9 \ \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.
