The lines y = 9x + 7 and y = 142 meet at x = 15. 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+7=1429x + 7 = 142
  2. 2

    Subtract 7 from both sides:

    9x+7−7=142−7 ⇒ 9x=1359x + 7 - 7 = 142 - 7 \ \Rightarrow\ 9x = 135
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 9:

    9x9=1359 ⇒ x=15\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{135}{9} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 15
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 15 back into the equation.
