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 ☑️
