The lines y = 9x + 4 and y = 175 meet at x = 19141618202224120140160180200220240x = 19y = 9x + 4y = 175
The lines y = 9x + 4 and y = 175 meet at x = 19. 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+4=1759x + 4 = 175
  2. 2

    Subtract 4 from both sides:

    9x+4−4=175−4 ⇒ 9x=1719x + 4 - 4 = 175 - 4 \ \Rightarrow\ 9x = 171
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 9:

    9x9=1719 ⇒ x=19\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{171}{9} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 19
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 19 back into the equation.
