Answer:

Explanation:

3(0.5x-4)=3/2x-1.2

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand

3(0.5x-4)=3/2x-1.2

Reorder the terms in parentheses

+(+1.5x-12)=/2x-1.2

Reorder the terms in parentheses

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.

0=0

We simplify left and right side of the equation.

0=0

0=0

This equation is an identity, so all real numbers are solutions.
