Solve 6x + 11 = 41

The solution of 6x + 11 = 41 is x = 5.

The lines y = 6x + 11 and y = 41 meet at x = 52468101020304050607080x = 5y = 6x + 11y = 41
The lines y = 6x + 11 and y = 41 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+11=416x + 11 = 41
  2. 2

    Subtract 11 from both sides:

    6x+11−11=41−11 ⇒ 6x=306x + 11 - 11 = 41 - 11 \ \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.
