The lines y = 8x + 6 and y = 158 meet at x = 19. 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=1588x + 6 = 158
  2. 2

    Subtract 6 from both sides:

    8x+6−6=158−6 ⇒ 8x=1528x + 6 - 6 = 158 - 6 \ \Rightarrow\ 8x = 152
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 8:

    8x8=1528 ⇒ x=19\frac{8x}{8} = \frac{152}{8} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 19
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 19 back into the equation.
