Solve this equation: 6\alpha+6 = 60

Question

Solve this equation:

6
`\alpha`+6 = 60

Answer 1

6a + 6 = 60
- 6 -6

60 - 6 = 54

6a = 54

6a/6 = 54/6
a = 54/6
a = 9

Answer: a = 9

Answer 2

`6\alpha + 6 = 60`

Subtract 6 on both sides


`6\alpha + 6 -6= 60-6`


`6\alpha= 60-6`


`6\alpha= 54`

Divide by 6 on both sides.


`(6\alpha)/(6) =(54)/(6)\\\\ \alpha = (54)/(6)\\\\\boxed{\bf{\alpha = 9}}`
