Solve 9x + 6 = 96

The solution of 9x + 6 = 96 is x = 10.

The lines y = 9x + 6 and y = 96 meet at x = 1046810121416406080100120140160x = 10y = 9x + 6y = 96
The lines y = 9x + 6 and y = 96 meet at x = 10. 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.

    9x+6=969x + 6 = 96
  2. 2

    Subtract 6 from both sides:

    9x+6−6=96−6 ⇒ 9x=909x + 6 - 6 = 96 - 6 \ \Rightarrow\ 9x = 90
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 9:

    9x9=909 ⇒ x=10\frac{9x}{9} = \frac{90}{9} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 10
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 10 back into the equation.
