Answer:


\large\boxed{C)\ 2}

Explanation:


2.5(6x-4)=10+4(1.5+0.5x)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\(2.5)(6x)+(2.5)(-4)=10+(4)(1.5)+(4)(0.5x)\\\\15x-10=10+6+2x\qquad\text{subtract 2x from both sides}\\\\13x-10=16\qquad\text{add 10 to both sides}\\\\13x=26\qquad\text{divide both sides by 13}\\\\x=2
