Solve 9x + 7 = 52

The solution of 9x + 7 = 52 is x = 5.

The lines y = 9x + 7 and y = 52 meet at x = 524681020406080100x = 5y = 9x + 7y = 52
The lines y = 9x + 7 and y = 52 meet at x = 5. 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=529x + 7 = 52
  2. 2

    Subtract 7 from both sides:

    9x+7−7=52−7 ⇒ 9x=459x + 7 - 7 = 52 - 7 \ \Rightarrow\ 9x = 45
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 9:

    9x9=459 ⇒ x=5\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{45}{9} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 5
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 5 back into the equation.
