Question

What is the value of x in the equation 3 / 2 (4x - 2) - 3x = 5 - (x + 2)? Please hurry.

Answer 1

x=3/2 im pretty sure this is right.

Answer 2

x = 3/2

Explanation:

`(3)/(2) (4x - 2) - 3x = 5 - (x + 2)`

Expand

`(3)/(2) (4x - 2) = 6x - 3`

`- (x + 2) = - x - 2`

`6x - 3 - 3x = 5 - x - 2`

Collect like terms and simplify

`6x - 3x + x = 5 - 2 + 3 \\ 4x = 6`

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

`(4x)/(4) = (6)/(4)`

simplify

`x = (3)/(2)`
