Question

12(1.5x+2)=14(x + 10.5) what the answer?

Answer 1

x = 30.75

Explanation:

We are solving for x in the equation:

`12(1.5x+2)=14(x + 10.5)`

↓ applying the distributive property to both sides ...
`a(b + c) = ab + ac`

`18x+24=14x + 147`

↓ subtracting 14x from both sides

`4x + 24 = 147`

↓ subtracting 24 from both sides

`4x = 123`

↓ dividing both sides by 4

`\boxed{x = (123)/(4) = 30.75}`
