The lines y = 10x + 6 and y = 176 meet at x = 17121416182022120140160180200220240x = 17y = 10x + 6y = 176
The lines y = 10x + 6 and y = 176 meet at x = 17. 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.

    10x+6=17610x + 6 = 176
  2. 2

    Subtract 6 from both sides:

    10x+6−6=176−6 ⇒ 10x=17010x + 6 - 6 = 176 - 6 \ \Rightarrow\ 10x = 170
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 10:

    10x10=17010 ⇒ x=17\frac{10x}{10} = \frac{170}{10} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 17
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 17 back into the equation.
