Question

What is the value of x in the equation 1.5(х + 4) – 3 = 4.5(х – 2)?
​

Answer 1

the answer to the question is x=2

Answer 2

4

1.5(x+4) - 3 = 4.5( x-2)-----------------------open brackets on both sides

1.5 x +6 -3= 4.5x- 9.................................collect like terms

3+9 = 4.5 x- 1.5x

12=3x..................................divide by 3 both sides to get x

12/3=x

x=4
