Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 9x + 15 and y = 24 meet at x = 1-4-2246-40-2020406080x = 1y = 9x + 15y = 24
The lines y = 9x + 15 and y = 24 meet at x = 1. 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+15=249x + 15 = 24
  2. 2

    Subtract 15 from both sides:

    9x+15−15=24−15 ⇒ 9x=99x + 15 - 15 = 24 - 15 \ \Rightarrow\ 9x = 9
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 9:

    9x9=99 ⇒ x=1\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{9}{9} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 1
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 1 back into the equation.
