Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 8x + 8 and y = 88 meet at x = 1046810121416406080100120140x = 10y = 8x + 8y = 88
The lines y = 8x + 8 and y = 88 meet at x = 10. 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+8=888x + 8 = 88
  2. 2

    Subtract 8 from both sides:

    8x+8−8=88−8 ⇒ 8x=808x + 8 - 8 = 88 - 8 \ \Rightarrow\ 8x = 80
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 8:

    8x8=808 ⇒ x=10\frac{8x}{8} = \frac{80}{8} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 10
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 10 back into the equation.
