Solve 6x + 13 = 103

The solution of 6x + 13 = 103 is x = 15.

The lines y = 6x + 13 and y = 103 meet at x = 1510121416182060708090100110120130140x = 15y = 6x + 13y = 103
The lines y = 6x + 13 and y = 103 meet at x = 15. 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+13=1036x + 13 = 103
  2. 2

    Subtract 13 from both sides:

    6x+13−13=103−13 ⇒ 6x=906x + 13 - 13 = 103 - 13 \ \Rightarrow\ 6x = 90
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 6:

    6x6=906 ⇒ x=15\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{90}{6} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 15
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 15 back into the equation.
