The value of the unknown variable from the equation is 1.95

Solving algebraic expression

Given the expression below:

1.5 ( x - 4) = 1.8 - 2.5 x

Expand and solve

1.5x - 6.0 = 1.8 - 2.5x

1.5x + 2.5x = 1.8 + 6.0

4.0x = 7.8

Divide both sides by 4

4.0x/4 = 7.8/4

x = 1.95

Hence the value of the unknown variable from the equation is 1.95

Complete question

Solve the expression 1.5 ( x - 4) = 1.8 - 2.5 x
