Answer 2

The value of x is 26.

Explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

`4.5(4 - x) + 36 = 202 - 2.5(3x + 28)`

Open the parentheses.

`18 -4.5x + 36 = 202 - 7.5x - 70`

`54-4.5x= 132 - 7.5x`

Add 7.5x to the both sides.

`54-4.5x+7.5x= 132 - 7.5x+7.5x`

`54+3x= 132`

Subtract 54 from both sides.

`3x=78`

Divide both sides by 3.

`x=26`

Hence the value of x is 26.
