Question

Someone please answer this it’s due today I need help

Answer 1

x = 8

Explanation:

3x - 5 = 2.5x + 3 - (x - 4)

open parentheis

3x - 5 = 2.5x + 3 - x + 4

3x - 5 = 1.5x + 7

subtract 1.5x from both sides of the equation

3x - 1.5x - 5 = 7

1.5x - 5 = 7

add 5 to both sides of the equation

1.5x = 7 + 5

1.5x = 12

divide both sides of the equation by 1.5

1.5x/1.5 = 12/1.5

x = 12/1.5

x = 8
