Answer:

x=9/2 Hope this helps!

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

x−6−(4.5−x)=−1.5

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x−6−(4.5−x)=−1.5

x−6+−1(4.5−x)=−1.5(Distribute the Negative Sign)

x+−6+(−1)(4.5)+−1(−x)=−1.5

x+−6+−4.5+x=−1.5

(x+x)+(−6+−4.5)=−1.5(Combine Like Terms)

2x+−10.5=−1.5

2x−10.5=−1.5

Step 2: Add 10.5 to both sides.

2x−10.5+10.5=−1.5+10.5

2x=9

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2=9/2

x=9/2

Answer is 9/2.
