Answer 2

The value of the equation for x is
`x=(1119)/(2)` or 559.5.

Explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

`45(15x+20)-7x=56(12x-24)+6`

We need to solve the equation for x.

Use the distributive property:
`a(b+c)=ab+ac`

`45(15x+20)-7x=56(12x-24)+6`

`675x+900-7x=672x-1344+6`

Add the like terms.

`668x+900=672x-1338`

Isolate the variable as shown:

`672x-668x=900+1338`

`4x=2238`

`x=(2238)/(4)`

`x=(1119)/(2)`

Hence, the value of the equation for x is
`x=(1119)/(2)` or 559.5.
