Question

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 TIME REMAINING 28:28 What is the value of x in the equation 1.5(x + 4) – 3 = 4.5(x – 2)?

Answer 1

its 4 plug it in simple math really once you plug in the 4 the answers will equal eachother :)

Answer 2

we have

`1.5(x+4)-3=4.5(x-2)`

Applying distributive property both sides

`1.5x+1.5*4-3=4.5x-4.5*2`

`1.5x+6-3=4.5x-9`

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

`4.5x-1.5x=6-3+9`

`3x=12`

Divide by
`3` both sides

`x=4`

therefore

the answer is

`x=4`
