How to solve 6x + 1 = 13? Get the answer and stepwise instruction to solve linear equation in one variable 𝒙.
We have 6x + 1 = 13
First, we move the non x terms to the RHS of the equation. To do this, we subtract 1 from both sides.
Note: if a = b, then a - c = b - cTherefore, 6x + 1 - 1 = 13 - 1
or, 6x = 12
Next, divide both sides by 6, which is the coefficent of x
Note: if a = b, then a ÷ c = b ÷ c6x6 = 126
x = 126
To simplify, divide both numerator and denominator by 6, which is the GCF of 12 and 6:
x = 21 or, x = 2
