Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 6x + 10 and y = 40 meet at x = 52468101020304050607080x = 5y = 6x + 10y = 40
The lines y = 6x + 10 and y = 40 meet at x = 5. 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=406x + 10 = 40
  2. 2

    Subtract 10 from both sides:

    6x+10−10=40−10 ⇒ 6x=306x + 10 - 10 = 40 - 10 \ \Rightarrow\ 6x = 30
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 6:

    6x6=306 ⇒ x=5\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{30}{6} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 5
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 5 back into the equation.
