Solve 8x + 9 = 41

The solution of 8x + 9 = 41 is x = 4.

The lines y = 8x + 9 and y = 41 meet at x = 4-224681020406080x = 4y = 8x + 9y = 41
The lines y = 8x + 9 and y = 41 meet at x = 4. 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=418x + 9 = 41
  2. 2

    Subtract 9 from both sides:

    8x+9−9=41−9 ⇒ 8x=328x + 9 - 9 = 41 - 9 \ \Rightarrow\ 8x = 32
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 8:

    8x8=328 ⇒ x=4\frac{8x}{8} = \frac{32}{8} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 4
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 4 back into the equation.
