Solve 10x + 6 = 76

The solution of 10x + 6 = 76 is x = 7.

The lines y = 10x + 6 and y = 76 meet at x = 72468101220406080100120140x = 7y = 10x + 6y = 76
The lines y = 10x + 6 and y = 76 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.

    10x+6=7610x + 6 = 76
  2. 2

    Subtract 6 from both sides:

    10x+6−6=76−6 ⇒ 10x=7010x + 6 - 6 = 76 - 6 \ \Rightarrow\ 10x = 70
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 10:

    10x10=7010 ⇒ x=7\frac{10x}{10} = \frac{70}{10} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 7
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 7 back into the equation.
