Solve the following equation for x

6x-16=20

1 answer

To solve the equation 6x - 16 = 20 for x, we can begin by isolating the variable x.

First, add 16 to both sides of the equation:

6x - 16 + 16 = 20 + 16

This simplifies to:

6x = 36

Next, divide both sides of the equation by 6 to solve for x:

6x/6 = 36/6

This simplifies to:

x = 6

Therefore, the solution to the equation 6x - 16 = 20 is x = 6.
