What is 6x - 12 equals 16?

Answer 1

6x - 12 = 16 is a linear equation in one variable(here x).

And the value of x which satisfies the equation is the solution.

Let us find the value of x:

6x - 12 = 16

Adding 12 to both sides, we get

6x - 12 + 12 = 16 + 12

6x = 28

Dividing both sides by 6, we get

x = 28/6 = 14/3

So, the solution of the equation is x = 14/3.
