Question

What is the value of x in the equation 1.5(x + 4) - 3 = 4.5(x - 2)?
O 3
4
9

Answer 1

option 2:

x = 4

Explanation:

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

1.5x + 6 - 3 = 4.5x - 9

1.5x + 3 = 4.5x - 9

1.5x - 4.5x = -9 - 3

-3x = -12

x = -12/-3 = 4

thus, the correct answer is:

option 2:

x = 4
