Solve 9x + 14 = 32

The solution of 9x + 14 = 32 is x = 2.

The lines y = 9x + 14 and y = 32 meet at x = 2-4-22468-2020406080x = 2y = 9x + 14y = 32
The lines y = 9x + 14 and y = 32 meet at x = 2. 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=329x + 14 = 32
  2. 2

    Subtract 14 from both sides:

    9x+14−14=32−14 ⇒ 9x=189x + 14 - 14 = 32 - 14 \ \Rightarrow\ 9x = 18
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 9:

    9x9=189 ⇒ x=2\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{18}{9} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 2
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 2 back into the equation.
