The lines y = 6x + 6 and y = 102 meet at x = 161012141618202260708090100110120130140x = 16y = 6x + 6y = 102
The lines y = 6x + 6 and y = 102 meet at x = 16. 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+6=1026x + 6 = 102
  2. 2

    Subtract 6 from both sides:

    6x+6−6=102−6 ⇒ 6x=966x + 6 - 6 = 102 - 6 \ \Rightarrow\ 6x = 96
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 6:

    6x6=966 ⇒ x=16\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{96}{6} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 16
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 16 back into the equation.
