Solve 6x + 3 = 81

The solution of 6x + 3 = 81 is x = 13.

The lines y = 6x + 3 and y = 81 meet at x = 1381012141618405060708090100110120x = 13y = 6x + 3y = 81
The lines y = 6x + 3 and y = 81 meet at x = 13. 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=816x + 3 = 81
  2. 2

    Subtract 3 from both sides:

    6x+3−3=81−3 ⇒ 6x=786x + 3 - 3 = 81 - 3 \ \Rightarrow\ 6x = 78
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 6:

    6x6=786 ⇒ x=13\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{78}{6} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 13
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 13 back into the equation.
