The lines y = 9x + 1 and y = 172 meet at x = 19141618202224120140160180200220x = 19y = 9x + 1y = 172
The lines y = 9x + 1 and y = 172 meet at x = 19. 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.

    9x+1=1729x + 1 = 172
  2. 2

    Subtract 1 from both sides:

    9x+1−1=172−1 ⇒ 9x=1719x + 1 - 1 = 172 - 1 \ \Rightarrow\ 9x = 171
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 9:

    9x9=1719 ⇒ x=19\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{171}{9} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 19
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 19 back into the equation.
