The lines y = 9x + 8 and y = 116 meet at x = 12. 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+8=1169x + 8 = 116
  2. 2

    Subtract 8 from both sides:

    9x+8−8=116−8 ⇒ 9x=1089x + 8 - 8 = 116 - 8 \ \Rightarrow\ 9x = 108
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 9:

    9x9=1089 ⇒ x=12\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{108}{9} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 12
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 12 back into the equation.
