Solve 4x + 6 = 22

The solution of 4x + 6 = 22 is x = 4.

The lines y = 4x + 6 and y = 22 meet at x = 4-22468101020304050x = 4y = 4x + 6y = 22
The lines y = 4x + 6 and y = 22 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.

    4x+6=224x + 6 = 22
  2. 2

    Subtract 6 from both sides:

    4x+6−6=22−6 ⇒ 4x=164x + 6 - 6 = 22 - 6 \ \Rightarrow\ 4x = 16
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 4:

    4x4=164 ⇒ x=4\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{16}{4} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 4
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 4 back into the equation.
