Solve for x 6x-3y=18

$6 x - 3 y = 18$

Step 1

Add $3 y$ to both sides of the equation.

$6 x = 18 + 3 y$

Step 2

Divide each term in $6 x = 18 + 3 y$ by $6$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $6 x = 18 + 3 y$ by $6$ .

$\frac{6 x}{6} = \frac{18}{6} + \frac{3 y}{6}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $6$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{6 x}{6} = \frac{18}{6} + \frac{3 y}{6}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{18}{6} + \frac{3 y}{6}$

$x = \frac{18}{6} + \frac{3 y}{6}$

$x = \frac{18}{6} + \frac{3 y}{6}$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify each term.

Divide $18$ by $6$ .

$x = 3 + \frac{3 y}{6}$

Cancel the common factor of $3$ and $6$ .

Factor $3$ out of $3 y$ .

$x = 3 + \frac{3 (y)}{6}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $3$ out of $6$ .

$x = 3 + \frac{3 y}{3 \cdot 2}$

Cancel the common factor.

$x = 3 + \frac{3 y}{3 \cdot 2}$

Rewrite the expression.

$x = 3 + \frac{y}{2}$

$x = 3 + \frac{y}{2}$

$x = 3 + \frac{y}{2}$

$x = 3 + \frac{y}{2}$

$x = 3 + \frac{y}{2}$

$x = 3 + \frac{y}{2}$
