Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 9x + 7 and y = 88 meet at x = 9468101214406080100120140x = 9y = 9x + 7y = 88
The lines y = 9x + 7 and y = 88 meet at x = 9. 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=889x + 7 = 88
  2. 2

    Subtract 7 from both sides:

    9x+7−7=88−7 ⇒ 9x=819x + 7 - 7 = 88 - 7 \ \Rightarrow\ 9x = 81
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 9:

    9x9=819 ⇒ x=9\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{81}{9} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 9
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 9 back into the equation.

    9⋅9+7=81+7=88✓9\cdot9 + 7 = 81 + 7 = 88 \checkmark
