what is 6x+6=50

Question

i dont understand

Answer 1

6x + 6 = 50

     -6       -6   <--- subtracts 6 from both sides

 

6x      = 44  

 

x = 44/6  <--- divides both sides by 6

 

x = 22/3

 

CHECK:

 

 6(22/3) + 6 = (6/1)(22/3) + 6 

                   

                     = 2*22 + 6  <---- 6 cancels out the 3; factor of 2 remains behind

 

                      = 44+6

 

                        = 50

 

YEs, the answer is correct, X = 22/3
