Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 9x + 7 and y = 16 meet at x = 1-4-2246-40-2020406080x = 1y = 9x + 7y = 16
The lines y = 9x + 7 and y = 16 meet at x = 1. 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=169x + 7 = 16
  2. 2

    Subtract 7 from both sides:

    9x+7−7=16−7 ⇒ 9x=99x + 7 - 7 = 16 - 7 \ \Rightarrow\ 9x = 9
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 9:

    9x9=99 ⇒ x=1\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{9}{9} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 1
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 1 back into the equation.
