The lines y = 8x + 7 and y = 135 meet at x = 16. 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+7=1358x + 7 = 135
  2. 2

    Subtract 7 from both sides:

    8x+7−7=135−7 ⇒ 8x=1288x + 7 - 7 = 135 - 7 \ \Rightarrow\ 8x = 128
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 8:

    8x8=1288 ⇒ x=16\frac{8x}{8} = \frac{128}{8} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 16
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 16 back into the equation.
