Solve for x y=6(x+a)

$y = 6 (x + a)$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $6 (x + a) = y$ .

$6 (x + a) = y$

Step 2

Divide each term in $6 (x + a) = y$ by $6$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $6 (x + a) = y$ by $6$ .

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

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $6$ .

Cancel the common factor.

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

Divide $x + a$ by $1$ .

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

Step 3

Subtract $a$ from both sides of the equation.

$x = \frac{y}{6} - a$
