The lines y = 7x + 9 and y = 135 meet at x = 1812141618202224100120140160180x = 18y = 7x + 9y = 135
The lines y = 7x + 9 and y = 135 meet at x = 18. 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=1357x + 9 = 135
  2. 2

    Subtract 9 from both sides:

    7x+9−9=135−9 ⇒ 7x=1267x + 9 - 9 = 135 - 9 \ \Rightarrow\ 7x = 126
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 7:

    7x7=1267 ⇒ x=18\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{126}{7} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 18
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 18 back into the equation.
