Solve the literal equation for the variable \( x \).

\[ 6x + 2y = a \]

6x + 2y = a
Subtract 2y from each side: 6x = a - 2y
Divide each side by 6 : *** x = (a - 2y) / 6***

6x + 2y = a 6x = a - 2y x = (a - 2y)/6**

To solve the equation 6 x + 2 y = a for x , first subtract 2 y from both sides to get 6 x = a − 2 y . Then, divide both sides by 6 to isolate x as x = 6 a − 2 y ​ . This expression shows how x depends on a and y .
