The lines y = 9x + 14 and y = 176 meet at x = 1812141618202224120140160180200220240x = 18y = 9x + 14y = 176
The lines y = 9x + 14 and y = 176 meet at x = 18. 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+14=1769x + 14 = 176
  2. 2

    Subtract 14 from both sides:

    9x+14−14=176−14 ⇒ 9x=1629x + 14 - 14 = 176 - 14 \ \Rightarrow\ 9x = 162
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 9:

    9x9=1629 ⇒ x=18\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{162}{9} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 18
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 18 back into the equation.
