Solve 6x + 9 = 57

The solution of 6x + 9 = 57 is x = 8.

The lines y = 6x + 9 and y = 57 meet at x = 824681012142030405060708090100x = 8y = 6x + 9y = 57
The lines y = 6x + 9 and y = 57 meet at x = 8. 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+9=576x + 9 = 57
  2. 2

    Subtract 9 from both sides:

    6x+9−9=57−9 ⇒ 6x=486x + 9 - 9 = 57 - 9 \ \Rightarrow\ 6x = 48
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 6:

    6x6=486 ⇒ x=8\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{48}{6} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 8
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 8 back into the equation.
