The lines y = 6x + 5 and y = 113 meet at x = 1812141618202224708090100110120130140150x = 18y = 6x + 5y = 113
The lines y = 6x + 5 and y = 113 meet at x = 18. 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+5=1136x + 5 = 113
  2. 2

    Subtract 5 from both sides:

    6x+5−5=113−5 ⇒ 6x=1086x + 5 - 5 = 113 - 5 \ \Rightarrow\ 6x = 108
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 6:

    6x6=1086 ⇒ x=18\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{108}{6} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 18
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 18 back into the equation.
