The solution of 6x + 14 = 80 is x = 11.

The lines y = 6x + 14 and y = 80 meet at x = 116810121416405060708090100110120x = 11y = 6x + 14y = 80
The lines y = 6x + 14 and y = 80 meet at x = 11. 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=806x + 14 = 80
  2. 2

    Subtract 14 from both sides:

    6x+14−14=80−14 ⇒ 6x=666x + 14 - 14 = 80 - 14 \ \Rightarrow\ 6x = 66
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 6:

    6x6=666 ⇒ x=11\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{66}{6} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 11
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 11 back into the equation.
