Answer: x=4

Step by step explanation


Simplifying
6 + -1.5x = 10 + -2.5x

Solving
6 + -1.5x = 10 + -2.5x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '2.5x' to each side of the equation.
6 + -1.5x + 2.5x = 10 + -2.5x + 2.5x

Combine like terms: -1.5x + 2.5x = 1x
6 + 1x = 10 + -2.5x + 2.5x

Combine like terms: -2.5x + 2.5x = 0.0
6 + 1x = 10 + 0.0
6 + 1x = 10

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + 1x = 10 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + 1x = 10 + -6
1x = 10 + -6

Combine like terms: 10 + -6 = 4
1x = 4

Divide each side by '1'.
x = 4

Simplifying
x = 4
