Solve 7x + 9 = 37

The solution of 7x + 9 = 37 is x = 4.

The lines y = 7x + 9 and y = 37 meet at x = 4-224681020406080x = 4y = 7x + 9y = 37
The lines y = 7x + 9 and y = 37 meet at x = 4. 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=377x + 9 = 37
  2. 2

    Subtract 9 from both sides:

    7x+9−9=37−9 ⇒ 7x=287x + 9 - 9 = 37 - 9 \ \Rightarrow\ 7x = 28
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 7:

    7x7=287 ⇒ x=4\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{28}{7} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 4
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 4 back into the equation.
