Solve for x 6x+a=5(x+t)

$6 x + a = 5 (x + t)$

Step 1

Simplify $5 (x + t)$ .

Rewrite.

$6 x + a = 0 + 0 + 5 (x + t)$

Simplify by adding zeros.

$6 x + a = 5 (x + t)$

Apply the distributive property.

$6 x + a = 5 x + 5 t$

Step 2

Move all terms containing $x$ to the left side of the equation.

Subtract $5 x$ from both sides of the equation.

$6 x + a - 5 x = 5 t$

Subtract $5 x$ from $6 x$ .

$a + x = 5 t$

Step 3

Subtract $a$ from both sides of the equation.

$x = 5 t - a$
