Solve 2x + 6 = 34

The solution of 2x + 6 = 34 is x = 14.

The lines y = 2x + 6 and y = 34 meet at x = 148101214161820202530354045x = 14y = 2x + 6y = 34
The lines y = 2x + 6 and y = 34 meet at x = 14. 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=342x + 6 = 34
  2. 2

    Subtract 6 from both sides:

    2x+6−6=34−6 ⇒ 2x=282x + 6 - 6 = 34 - 6 \ \Rightarrow\ 2x = 28
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 2:

    2x2=282 ⇒ x=14\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{28}{2} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 14
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 14 back into the equation.
