Hi there!

The Eqn. is :-

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

1.5x + 6 - 3 = 4.5x - 9

Combining the like terms :-

1.5x - 4.5x = - 9 - 6 + 3

- 3x = - 15 + 3

- 3x = - 12

x = \dfrac {- 12}{- 3}

x = 4

Hence, the required answer is → x = 4

~ Hope it helps!

Hi there! The answer is x = 4.

Let's solve this equation step by step!
1.5(x + 4) - 3 = 4.5(x  - 2)

First we need to work out the parenthesis, which can for instance be done using rainbow technique.
1.5x + 6 - 3 = 4.5x - 9

First collect terms.
1.5x + 3 = 4.5x - 9

Subtract 3 from both sides
1.5x  = 4.5x - 12

Subtract 4.5x from both sides.
- 3x =  - 12

And finally divide both sides by -3.
x =  \frac{ - 12}{ - 3}  = 4

What is the simple interest paid on $2,300 at 4% for 2 years?
Stells [14]

Answer:

$2,484

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Multiply 2300 x .04 because 4% is added yearly. That's 92.

2) Multiply that answer by 2 since the amount is compounded for two years. 92 x 2 = 184.

3) Add the interest and original amount together. 2300 + 184 = $2484
