Answer:

I think its x=9/22

Explanation:

3(x+4.5)=36x=

We move all terms to the left:

3(x+4.5)-(36x)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-36x+3(x+4.5)=0

We multiply parentheses

-36x+3x+13.5=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-33x+13.5=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

-33x=-13.5

x=-13.5/-33

x=9/22

Hope it helps
