Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 9x + 3 and y = 156 meet at x = 17121416182022100120140160180200220x = 17y = 9x + 3y = 156
The lines y = 9x + 3 and y = 156 meet at x = 17. 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=1569x + 3 = 156
  2. 2

    Subtract 3 from both sides:

    9x+3−3=156−3 ⇒ 9x=1539x + 3 - 3 = 156 - 3 \ \Rightarrow\ 9x = 153
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 9:

    9x9=1539 ⇒ x=17\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{153}{9} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 17
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 17 back into the equation.
