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

1) you do 144× 12 since you want to know how much all kids pay so its 1728 dollars.

2) they want 2 section a, 3 section b, and 2 section c, and sincc you want to know total you multiply number of tickets bought by cost per ticket, so its 2(10)+3(20)+2(30)=180 total cost.

3) sine they have 350 dollars yoy subtract cost of the ps4 from the amount they have and you get, 350-234=116 dollars remaining.


4) since they make 15 per lawn you write 15x, x representing number of lawns cut, and you set that equal to 225, so its 15x=225 then you divide 15 on both sides to get x= 15 lawns they need to cut.

5) you just divide 2/4 since they ate two of four slices and you get .5 then convert that to a decimal by moving decimal point 2 spaces over to get 50%.

6) Just add up all the costs of each song, so you get .99+1.19+1.5+.99 = 4.67 dollars as total cost.

7) since 60 min is in an hour and you have 30 min left over it would be 1hr and 30 min.

8) since its Monday through Friday which is only 5 days you multiply that by 4 weeks to get 20 days then you multiply by 30 since they study 30 min on each of those days, so you get 20×30 which is 600min of studying, but since it want is in hours divide 600 by 60 to get 10hrs of study.

jekas [21]
<span>To get the bigger number, divide by 2 the sum of the given sum of the numbers and their difference. In this case-
(226 + 200)/2 = 426/2 = 213.
To get the smaller number, divide by 2 the difference of the given sum of the numbers and their difference. In this case -
(226 - 200)/2 = 26/2 =13.
The two numbers are 213 and 13.
The bigger number is 213</span>

58:49 A pound of raisins costs $2.00, and a pound of almonds costs $5.00. Six pounds of a trail mix contains 2 more pounds of ra
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

$18

Step-by-step explanation:

1 pound of raisins = $2

1 pound of almonds = $5

Let the number of raisins be represented by a

Let the number of almonds be represented by b

We are told in the question that:

Six pounds of a trail mix contains 2 more pounds of raisins than almonds.

a + b = 6 pounds

Hence, Almonds = 2 pounds

Raisins = 4 pounds

The cost of the 6 pounds of trail mix

= 4 × $2 + 2 × $5

=$8 + $10

= $18
