Question
$$x+5x = 168$$
Answer
$$ x = 28 $$
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} x+5x &= 168&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]6x &= 168&& \text{move the $ \color{blue}{ 168 } $ to the left side} \\[1 em]6x-168 &= 0&& \text{ move the constants to the right } \\[1 em]6x &= 168&& \text{ divide both sides by $ 6 $ } \\[1 em]x &= \frac{168}{6}&& \\[1 em]x &= 28&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
