The lines y = 9x + 6 and y = 24 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
The goal is to get x alone. Undo the operations in the opposite order: first the addition, then the multiplication.
$9x + 6 = 24$
2
Subtract 6 from both sides:
$9x + 6 - 6 = 24 - 6 \ \Rightarrow\ 9x = 18$
3
Divide both sides by 9:
$\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{18}{9} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 2$
4
Check: put x = 2 back into the equation.
$9\cdot2 + 6 = 18 + 6 = 24 \checkmark$
