Here is how I resolved it:

  1. Go to Libstdc++ dir in Android SDK directory

    SDK setting

    cd AndroidSdkDirectory/studio/emulator/lib64/libstdc++

  2. Create a back up of libstdc++.so.6:

    mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.bak

  3. Create symbolic link to library:

    ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6
