Solve 6x + 5 = 41

The solution of 6x + 5 = 41 is x = 6.

The lines y = 6x + 5 and y = 41 meet at x = 6246810121020304050607080x = 6y = 6x + 5y = 41
The lines y = 6x + 5 and y = 41 meet at x = 6. 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=416x + 5 = 41
  2. 2

    Subtract 5 from both sides:

    6x+5−5=41−5 ⇒ 6x=366x + 5 - 5 = 41 - 5 \ \Rightarrow\ 6x = 36
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 6:

    6x6=366 ⇒ x=6\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{36}{6} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 6
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 6 back into the equation.
