Question

1.5(x +4) - 3 = 4.5 (x - 2)

Answer 1

Explanation:

x-4

Answer 2

x = 4

Explanation:

1.5(x + 4) - 3 = 4.5(x - 2)

Distribute;

1.5x + 6 - 3 = 4.5x - 9

Collect like terms;

1.5x + 3 = 4.5x - 9

Subtract 1.5x from both sides;

3 = 3x - 9

Add 9 to both sides;

12 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3;

x = 4
