The solution of 4x + 6 = 18 is x = 3.

Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 4x + 6 and y = 18 meet at x = 3-22468-1010203040x = 3y = 4x + 6y = 18
The lines y = 4x + 6 and y = 18 meet at x = 3. 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.

    4x+6=184x + 6 = 18
  2. 2

    Subtract 6 from both sides:

    4x+6−6=18−6 ⇒ 4x=124x + 6 - 6 = 18 - 6 \ \Rightarrow\ 4x = 12
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 4:

    4x4=124 ⇒ x=3\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{12}{4} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 3
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 3 back into the equation.
