Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 6x + 1 and y = 73 meet at x = 1268101214161830405060708090100110x = 12y = 6x + 1y = 73
The lines y = 6x + 1 and y = 73 meet at x = 12. 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.

    6x+1=736x + 1 = 73
  2. 2

    Subtract 1 from both sides:

    6x+1−1=73−1 ⇒ 6x=726x + 1 - 1 = 73 - 1 \ \Rightarrow\ 6x = 72
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 6:

    6x6=726 ⇒ x=12\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{72}{6} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 12
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 12 back into the equation.
