Solve 11x + 6 = 50

The solution of 11x + 6 = 50 is x = 4.

The lines y = 11x + 6 and y = 50 meet at x = 4-2246810-2020406080100120x = 4y = 11x + 6y = 50
The lines y = 11x + 6 and y = 50 meet at x = 4. 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.

    11x+6=5011x + 6 = 50
  2. 2

    Subtract 6 from both sides:

    11x+6−6=50−6 ⇒ 11x=4411x + 6 - 6 = 50 - 6 \ \Rightarrow\ 11x = 44
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 11:

    11x11=4411 ⇒ x=4\frac{11x}{11} = \frac{44}{11} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 4
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 4 back into the equation.
