Solve 8x + 9 = 33

The solution of 8x + 9 = 33 is x = 3.

The lines y = 8x + 9 and y = 33 meet at x = 3-22468-2020406080x = 3y = 8x + 9y = 33
The lines y = 8x + 9 and y = 33 meet at x = 3. 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=338x + 9 = 33
  2. 2

    Subtract 9 from both sides:

    8x+9−9=33−9 ⇒ 8x=248x + 9 - 9 = 33 - 9 \ \Rightarrow\ 8x = 24
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 8:

    8x8=248 ⇒ x=3\frac{8x}{8} = \frac{24}{8} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 3
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 3 back into the equation.
