Answer:

The value of x in the equation 1.5(x + 4)-3 = 4.5 (x-2) is 4.

Explanation:

1.5( x + 4)-3 = 4.5 (x - 2)

Using the distributive property muntiply the term in the equation.

1.5x + 1.5×4-3 = 4x - 4.5 × 2

1.5x + 6-3 = 4.5x - 9

isolate the variable x using transporting method and solve for x

4.5x - 1.5x = 6 - 3 + 9

3x = 12

therefore, x = 12/3 = 4

Hope This Helps You!!!
