The lines y = 10x + 6 and y = 186 meet at x = 18. 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=18610x + 6 = 186
  2. 2

    Subtract 6 from both sides:

    10x+6−6=186−6 ⇒ 10x=18010x + 6 - 6 = 186 - 6 \ \Rightarrow\ 10x = 180
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 10:

    10x10=18010 ⇒ x=18\frac{10x}{10} = \frac{180}{10} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 18
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 18 back into the equation.
