Solve 6x + 3 = 75

The solution of 6x + 3 = 75 is x = 12.

The lines y = 6x + 3 and y = 75 meet at x = 12681012141618405060708090100110x = 12y = 6x + 3y = 75
The lines y = 6x + 3 and y = 75 meet at x = 12. 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=756x + 3 = 75
  2. 2

    Subtract 3 from both sides:

    6x+3−3=75−3 ⇒ 6x=726x + 3 - 3 = 75 - 3 \ \Rightarrow\ 6x = 72
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 6:

    6x6=726 ⇒ x=12\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{72}{6} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 12
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 12 back into the equation.
