Solve 6x + 8 = 2

The solution of 6x + 8 = 2 is x = -1.

Explain it step by step in chatMake a short video of it
The lines y = 6x + 8 and y = 2 meet at x = -1-6-4-224-40-30-20-1010203040x = -1y = 6x + 8y = 2
The lines y = 6x + 8 and y = 2 meet at x = -1. 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+8=26x + 8 = 2
  2. 2

    Subtract 8 from both sides:

    6x+8−8=2−8 ⇒ 6x=−66x + 8 - 8 = 2 - 8 \ \Rightarrow\ 6x = -6
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 6:

    6x6=−66 ⇒ x=−1\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{-6}{6} \ \Rightarrow\ x = -1
  4. 4

    Check: put x = -1 back into the equation.

    6⋅(−1)+8=−6+8=2✓6\cdot(-1) + 8 = -6 + 8 = 2 \checkmark
