Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 8x + 4 and y = 36 meet at x = 4-2246810-2020406080x = 4y = 8x + 4y = 36
The lines y = 8x + 4 and y = 36 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.

    8x+4=368x + 4 = 36
  2. 2

    Subtract 4 from both sides:

    8x+4−4=36−4 ⇒ 8x=328x + 4 - 4 = 36 - 4 \ \Rightarrow\ 8x = 32
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 8:

    8x8=328 ⇒ x=4\frac{8x}{8} = \frac{32}{8} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 4
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 4 back into the equation.
