Usually,  people do not write in the problem description   DC = 6x + x.

Such writing is    a    of  .


And when a tutor detects an error in the visitor's writing,
the duty of the tutor is to inform the visitor about the error,
BUT  DO  NOT  SOLVE  incorrectly posed problem,  as  @MathLover1 does.


It is an elementary rule of the safety precautions.
