Solve 6x + 14 = 104

The solution of 6x + 14 = 104 is x = 15.

The lines y = 6x + 14 and y = 104 meet at x = 15101214161820708090100110120130140x = 15y = 6x + 14y = 104
The lines y = 6x + 14 and y = 104 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+14=1046x + 14 = 104
  2. 2

    Subtract 14 from both sides:

    6x+14−14=104−14 ⇒ 6x=906x + 14 - 14 = 104 - 14 \ \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.
