Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 9x + 8 and y = 71 meet at x = 72468101220406080100120x = 7y = 9x + 8y = 71
The lines y = 9x + 8 and y = 71 meet at x = 7. 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=719x + 8 = 71
  2. 2

    Subtract 8 from both sides:

    9x+8−8=71−8 ⇒ 9x=639x + 8 - 8 = 71 - 8 \ \Rightarrow\ 9x = 63
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 9:

    9x9=639 ⇒ x=7\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{63}{9} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 7
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 7 back into the equation.
