Answer:

π

Explanation:

The period is the amount of change in x required to make the argument of the sine function change by 2π.

If P is the period, then we want ...

(2(x+P) +1.5) -(2x +1.5) = 2π

2P = 2π . . . . . . simplify

P = π . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The period of the function is π.

______

Another way to say the same thing is that the period is 2π divided by the coefficient of x: (2π)/2 = π.
