Solve 6x + 3 = 15

The solution of 6x + 3 = 15 is x = 2.

The lines y = 6x + 3 and y = 15 meet at x = 2-4-22468-20-101020304050x = 2y = 6x + 3y = 15
The lines y = 6x + 3 and y = 15 meet at x = 2. 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+3=156x + 3 = 15
  2. 2

    Subtract 3 from both sides:

    6x+3−3=15−3 ⇒ 6x=126x + 3 - 3 = 15 - 3 \ \Rightarrow\ 6x = 12
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 6:

    6x6=126 ⇒ x=2\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{12}{6} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 2
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 2 back into the equation.
