The solution of 2x + 6 = 10 is x = 2.

Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 2x + 6 and y = 10 meet at x = 2-4-224685101520x = 2y = 2x + 6y = 10
The lines y = 2x + 6 and y = 10 meet at x = 2. 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.

    2x+6=102x + 6 = 10
  2. 2

    Subtract 6 from both sides:

    2x+6−6=10−6 ⇒ 2x=42x + 6 - 6 = 10 - 6 \ \Rightarrow\ 2x = 4
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 2:

    2x2=42 ⇒ x=2\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{4}{2} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 2
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 2 back into the equation.
