Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 8x + 15 and y = 63 meet at x = 62468101220406080100120x = 6y = 8x + 15y = 63
The lines y = 8x + 15 and y = 63 meet at x = 6. 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+15=638x + 15 = 63
  2. 2

    Subtract 15 from both sides:

    8x+15−15=63−15 ⇒ 8x=488x + 15 - 15 = 63 - 15 \ \Rightarrow\ 8x = 48
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 8:

    8x8=488 ⇒ x=6\frac{8x}{8} = \frac{48}{8} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 6
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 6 back into the equation.
