Solve 6x + 5 = 95

The solution of 6x + 5 = 95 is x = 15.

The lines y = 6x + 5 and y = 95 meet at x = 1510121416182060708090100110120130x = 15y = 6x + 5y = 95
The lines y = 6x + 5 and y = 95 meet at x = 15. 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=956x + 5 = 95
  2. 2

    Subtract 5 from both sides:

    6x+5−5=95−5 ⇒ 6x=906x + 5 - 5 = 95 - 5 \ \Rightarrow\ 6x = 90
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 6:

    6x6=906 ⇒ x=15\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{90}{6} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 15
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 15 back into the equation.
