Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 8x + 2 and y = 98 meet at x = 126810121416186080100120140x = 12y = 8x + 2y = 98
The lines y = 8x + 2 and y = 98 meet at x = 12. 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+2=988x + 2 = 98
  2. 2

    Subtract 2 from both sides:

    8x+2−2=98−2 ⇒ 8x=968x + 2 - 2 = 98 - 2 \ \Rightarrow\ 8x = 96
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 8:

    8x8=968 ⇒ x=12\frac{8x}{8} = \frac{96}{8} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 12
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 12 back into the equation.
