Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 8x + 6 and y = 14 meet at x = 1-4-2246-40-20204060x = 1y = 8x + 6y = 14
The lines y = 8x + 6 and y = 14 meet at x = 1. 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+6=148x + 6 = 14
  2. 2

    Subtract 6 from both sides:

    8x+6−6=14−6 ⇒ 8x=88x + 6 - 6 = 14 - 6 \ \Rightarrow\ 8x = 8
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 8:

    8x8=88 ⇒ x=1\frac{8x}{8} = \frac{8}{8} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 1
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 1 back into the equation.
