Question

Use the properties of equality to find the value of x, in the equation 12(5x-4. 5)=36

Answer 1

Explanation:

12(5x - 4.5) = 36

if that is really correct, then we solve this first by dividing both sides by 12

5x - 4.5 = 3

then we add 4.5 to both sides

5x = 7.5

and finally we divide both sides by 5

x = 1.5
