Solve 6x + 4 = 46

The solution of 6x + 4 = 46 is x = 7.

The lines y = 6x + 4 and y = 46 meet at x = 7246810121020304050607080x = 7y = 6x + 4y = 46
The lines y = 6x + 4 and y = 46 meet at x = 7. 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+4=466x + 4 = 46
  2. 2

    Subtract 4 from both sides:

    6x+4−4=46−4 ⇒ 6x=426x + 4 - 4 = 46 - 4 \ \Rightarrow\ 6x = 42
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 6:

    6x6=426 ⇒ x=7\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{42}{6} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 7
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 7 back into the equation.
