I will explain step by step how to solve for x

Remove the parenthesis using distributive property
1.5(x + 4) - 3 = 4.5(x - 2)
1.5(x) + 1.5(4) = 4.5(x) - 4.5(2)
1.5x + 6 = 4.5x - 9

Combining like-terms. Move the terms whose variable x to the left side, and move constants to the right side. Plus sign will become substract sign after being moved.
1.5x + 6 = 4.5x - 9
1.5x - 4.5x = -9 - 6
-3x = -12

Move -3 to the right side to solve for x. Multiplication becomes division after being moved to the other side
-3x = -12
x = -12/-3
x = 4

The value of x is 4

Olegator [25]

Given :

Nathan smiled at 50 people one day and recorded that 36 people smiled back at him.

To Find :

How many people should Nathan expect to return a smile if he smiles at 650 people over a period of time.

Solution :

Ratio of people smiled by total number of people is :

R = \dfrac{36}{50}

Now, it is given that we have to use the given conditions.

Therefore, ratio will be same :

\dfrac{s}{650}=\dfrac{36}{50}\\\\s = \dfrac{36}{50}\times 650\\\\s = 468

Therefore, number of smiles Nathan expect to return is 468.
