Solve 6x + 15 = 33

The solution of 6x + 15 = 33 is x = 3.

The lines y = 6x + 15 and y = 33 meet at x = 3-22468-1010203040506070x = 3y = 6x + 15y = 33
The lines y = 6x + 15 and y = 33 meet at x = 3. 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+15=336x + 15 = 33
  2. 2

    Subtract 15 from both sides:

    6x+15−15=33−15 ⇒ 6x=186x + 15 - 15 = 33 - 15 \ \Rightarrow\ 6x = 18
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 6:

    6x6=186 ⇒ x=3\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{18}{6} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 3
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 3 back into the equation.
