Question

What is the answer to the equation?

-4(3/2x - 1/2)= -15

A. X= -19/6

B. X= - 29/4

C. X= 13/6

D. X= 17/6

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

- 4(
`(3)/(2)` x -
`(1)/(2)` ) = - 15 ← distribute parenthesis by - 4

- 6x + 2 = - 15 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

- 6x = - 17 ( divide both sides by - 6 )

x =
`(-17)/(6)` , that is

x =
`(17)/(6)`
