The solution is x=16.1

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve, linear equation in one variable we have to isolate the variable on one side of the equation

Given

$-4.5 = -0.5(x-7.1)$

dividing both sides by -0.5

$\frac{-4.5}{-0.5} = \frac{-0.5(x-7.1)}{-0.5}\\9 = x-7.1\\x-7.1 = 9$

adding 7.1 on both sides

$x-7.1+7.1 = 9+7.1\\x = 16.1$

Hence,

The solution is x=16.1
