Solve for x 6x-y=4

$6 x - y = 4$

Step 1

Add $y$ to both sides of the equation.

$6 x = 4 + y$

Step 2

Divide each term in $6 x = 4 + y$ by $6$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $6 x = 4 + y$ by $6$ .

$\frac{6 x}{6} = \frac{4}{6} + \frac{y}{6}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $6$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{6 x}{6} = \frac{4}{6} + \frac{y}{6}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{4}{6} + \frac{y}{6}$

$x = \frac{4}{6} + \frac{y}{6}$

$x = \frac{4}{6} + \frac{y}{6}$

Simplify the right side.

Cancel the common factor of $4$ and $6$ .

Factor $2$ out of $4$ .

$x = \frac{2 (2)}{6} + \frac{y}{6}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $6$ .

$x = \frac{2 \cdot 2}{2 \cdot 3} + \frac{y}{6}$

Cancel the common factor.

$x = \frac{2 \cdot 2}{2 \cdot 3} + \frac{y}{6}$

Rewrite the expression.

$x = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{y}{6}$

$x = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{y}{6}$

$x = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{y}{6}$

$x = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{y}{6}$

$x = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{y}{6}$
