Solve 6x + 6 = 24

The solution of 6x + 6 = 24 is x = 3.

The lines y = 6x + 6 and y = 24 meet at x = 3-22468-10102030405060x = 3y = 6x + 6y = 24
The lines y = 6x + 6 and y = 24 meet at x = 3. 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=246x + 6 = 24
  2. 2

    Subtract 6 from both sides:

    6x+6−6=24−6 ⇒ 6x=186x + 6 - 6 = 24 - 6 \ \Rightarrow\ 6x = 18
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 6:

    6x6=186 ⇒ x=3\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{18}{6} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 3
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 3 back into the equation.
