Solve 9x āˆ’ 14 = 67

The solution of 9x āˆ’ 14 = 67 is x = 9.

The lines y = 9x āˆ’ 14 and y = 67 meet at x = 946810121420406080100120x = 9y = 9x āˆ’ 14y = 67
The lines y = 9x āˆ’ 14 and y = 67 meet at x = 9. 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’14=679x - 14 = 67
  2. 2

    Add 14 to both sides:

    9xāˆ’14+14=67+14 ⇒ 9x=819x - 14 + 14 = 67 + 14 \ \Rightarrow\ 9x = 81
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 9:

    9x9=819 ⇒ x=9\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{81}{9} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 9
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 9 back into the equation.
