Solve 9x + 3 = 102

The solution of 9x + 3 = 102 is x = 11.

The lines y = 9x + 3 and y = 102 meet at x = 116810121416406080100120140160x = 11y = 9x + 3y = 102
The lines y = 9x + 3 and y = 102 meet at x = 11. 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+3=1029x + 3 = 102
  2. 2

    Subtract 3 from both sides:

    9x+3−3=102−3 ⇒ 9x=999x + 3 - 3 = 102 - 3 \ \Rightarrow\ 9x = 99
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 9:

    9x9=999 ⇒ x=11\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{99}{9} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 11
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 11 back into the equation.
