Solve 6x + 10 = 124

The solution of 6x + 10 = 124 is x = 19.

The lines y = 6x + 10 and y = 124 meet at x = 1914161820222490100110120130140150160x = 19y = 6x + 10y = 124
The lines y = 6x + 10 and y = 124 meet at x = 19. 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+10=1246x + 10 = 124
  2. 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides:

    6x+10−10=124−10 ⇒ 6x=1146x + 10 - 10 = 124 - 10 \ \Rightarrow\ 6x = 114
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 6:

    6x6=1146 ⇒ x=19\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{114}{6} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 19
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 19 back into the equation.
