Solve 9x āˆ’ 11 = 52

The solution of 9x āˆ’ 11 = 52 is x = 7.

The lines y = 9x āˆ’ 11 and y = 52 meet at x = 72468101220406080100x = 7y = 9x āˆ’ 11y = 52
The lines y = 9x āˆ’ 11 and y = 52 meet at x = 7. 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 subtraction, then the multiplication.

    9xāˆ’11=529x - 11 = 52
  2. 2

    Add 11 to both sides:

    9xāˆ’11+11=52+11 ⇒ 9x=639x - 11 + 11 = 52 + 11 \ \Rightarrow\ 9x = 63
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 9:

    9x9=639 ⇒ x=7\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{63}{9} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 7
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 7 back into the equation.
