Answer:
x= 8
Explanation:
So this is not as hard as it looks
the aim of this question is to work out what x is
so we need to find x on it's own
therefore we must work on removing the number on the right and to do this we first of all have to get a number that is divisible by 3.
now this is not always the case but I think you can tell from this question that it is obvious.
so what you do first is reverse the -1.5 into a positive and if it was the other way round so positive to a negative
so we do 1.5 + 22.5 which equals to 24
now this is simple division so 24 ÷ 3 = 8
therefore making the answer x = 8
