The lines y = 8x + 9 and y = 137 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+9=1378x + 9 = 137
  2. 2

    Subtract 9 from both sides:

    8x+9−9=137−9 ⇒ 8x=1288x + 9 - 9 = 137 - 9 \ \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.
