Final answer:

The given equation 45+60=15x+15x simplifies to 105=30x. By dividing both sides by 30, we find that x equals 3.5. This solution is not listed in the provided multiple-choice options.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation given is 45+60=15x+15x. To find the value of x, we start by simplifying both sides of the equation. Add 45 and 60 to get 105 on the left-hand side. Combine like terms on the right-hand side, 15x + 15x, to get 30x.

The equation now reads: 105 = 30x. Now, divide both sides of the equation by 30 to isolate x. So, x equals 105 divided by 30, which simplifies to 3.5.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Add 45 and 60 to obtain 105.
  2. Combine like terms on the right-hand side (15x + 15x) to get 30x.
  3. Divide both sides by 30.
  4. The result is x = 3.5.

Therefore, the correct answer is that x equals 3.5, which is not present in the provided options A to D.
