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

4=x

Solve for x in this equation: 3/4+ |5-x| = 13/4

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

x = 2.5 or 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 3/4.

|5 -x| = 10/4 = 2.5

This resolves to two equations:

5 -x = 2.5 ⇒ x = 5 -2.5 = 2.5
5 -x = -2.5 ⇒ x = 5 +2.5 = 7.5

The solutions are x = 2.5 or 7.5.
