Solve 6x + 6 = 108

The solution of 6x + 6 = 108 is x = 17.

The lines y = 6x + 6 and y = 108 meet at x = 17121416182022708090100110120130140150x = 17y = 6x + 6y = 108
The lines y = 6x + 6 and y = 108 meet at x = 17. 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=1086x + 6 = 108
  2. 2

    Subtract 6 from both sides:

    6x+6−6=108−6 ⇒ 6x=1026x + 6 - 6 = 108 - 6 \ \Rightarrow\ 6x = 102
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 6:

    6x6=1026 ⇒ x=17\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{102}{6} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 17
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 17 back into the equation.
