The lines y = 8x + 12 and y = 132 meet at x = 15. 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.

    8x+12=1328x + 12 = 132
  2. 2

    Subtract 12 from both sides:

    8x+12−12=132−12 ⇒ 8x=1208x + 12 - 12 = 132 - 12 \ \Rightarrow\ 8x = 120
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 8:

    8x8=1208 ⇒ x=15\frac{8x}{8} = \frac{120}{8} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 15
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 15 back into the equation.

    8⋅15+12=120+12=132✓8\cdot15 + 12 = 120 + 12 = 132 \checkmark
