Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Distribute

1.5x + 6 -3 = 4.5x - 9

Combine like terms

1.5x +3 = 4.5x -9

Subtract 1.5x from each side

1.5x -1.5x +3 = 4.5x -1.5x-9

3 = 3x-9

Add 9 to each side

3+9 = 3x-9+9

12 =3x

Divide each side by 3

12/3 = 3x/3

Answer:

(B) $y=-2x+ \dfrac{7}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the point-slope form of the equation of a line below:

$y-\dfrac{2}{3}=-2\left(x- \dfrac{1}{4}\right)$

We are required to write it in the slope-intercept form, y=mx+c.

$y-\dfrac{2}{3}=-2\left(x- \dfrac{1}{4}\right)\\\\y-\dfrac{2}{3}=-2x+ \dfrac{2}{4}\\\\y=-2x+ \dfrac{2}{4}+\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\y=-2x+ \dfrac{7}{6}$

The slope intercept form is:

$y=-2x+ \dfrac{7}{6}$

<u>The correct option is B.</u>
