You want to start by taking the problem step by step.

First subtract 6 from 51. Which will get you to 45. Then think what times what equals 45, or just divide 45 by 5. This works for any problem like this! Hope this helped!

Answer:


\bf \huge9

Explanation:

Given that :

  • 6 + 5x =51

to find :

  • solve for x

explanation :

⟼ 6 + 5x = 51

step 1 : Simplify both sides of the equation.

⟼ 5x + 6 = 51

step 2 : Subtract 6 from both sides.

⟼ 5x + 6 - 6 = 51 - 6

⟼ 5x = 45

step 3 : Divide both sides by 5

⟼ 5x / 5 = 45 / 5

⟼ x = 45 / 5

⟼ x = 9.

x = 9.

verification :

lets take x = 9.

⟼ 6 + 5 (9) = 51

⟼ 6 + 5 × 9 = 51

⟼ 6 + 45 = 51

51 = 51.

hence verified ☑️
