Solve 6x + 6 = 36

The solution of 6x + 6 = 36 is x = 5.

The lines y = 6x + 6 and y = 36 meet at x = 524681010203040506070x = 5y = 6x + 6y = 36
The lines y = 6x + 6 and y = 36 meet at x = 5. 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=366x + 6 = 36
  2. 2

    Subtract 6 from both sides:

    6x+6−6=36−6 ⇒ 6x=306x + 6 - 6 = 36 - 6 \ \Rightarrow\ 6x = 30
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 6:

    6x6=306 ⇒ x=5\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{30}{6} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 5
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 5 back into the equation.
