\textsf{Hey there!}


\mathsf{6x + 1.6 = 58}


\huge\textsf{SUBTRACT 1.6 on both of your sides}


\large\textsf{Like: 6x + 1.6 - 1.6 = 58 - 1.6}\\\large\textsf{Cancel out: 1.6 - 1.6 because it gives us 0}\\\large\textsf{Keep: 98 - 1.6 because it helps us solve for our answer}


\large\texts{\bf{\underline{58 - 1.6 = 56.4}}}}}\\\textsf{New equation: 6x = 56.4}


\huge\textsf{DIVIDE both sides by 6}


\large\mathsf{Like: (6x)/(6) = (56.4)/(6)}\\\\\textsf{Cancel out:}\mathsf{(6x)/(6)\ because\ that\ gives\ us\ 1}\\\\\mathsf{Keep: (56.4)/(6)\ because\ that\ gives\ our\ x\ value}


\huge\textsf{Solving for our \underline{answer}}


\mathsf{(56.4)/(6) = 56.4 / 6 \rightarrow \underline{\bf{ANSWER}}}


\huge\textsf{YOUR \bf{ANSWER}}\huge\downarrow


\boxed{\boxed{\huge\textsf{Answer: \boxed{\boxed{\huge\textsf{\bf{\underline{x = 9.4}}}}}}}}}}\huge\checkmark


\textsf{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}
