Question

How do you solve `6x + 19= 44`?

Answer 1

The solution is `25/6` or `4.1bar(6)`.

Explanation:

First, you want to isolate the variable by subtracting `19` from both sides.

`6x + 19 -19=44-19`

`6x=25`

Then, divide by `6` on both sides so that `x` is completely alone.

`x=25/6`

There isn't really anything you can do to simplify the fraction, so you can either leave it as it is or you can make is a decimal, which would be `4.1bar(6)`.

I hope this helped!
