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.

$\frac{6\alpha}{6} =\frac{54}{6}\\\\ \alpha = \frac{54}{6}\\\\\boxed{\bf{\alpha = 9}}$
