Answer:  The correct option is (B) 4.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the value of x in the following  equation :

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

To find the value of x, we need to solve equation (i) for x.

The solution of equation (i) is s follows :

1.5(x+4)-3=4.5(x-2)\\\\\Rightarrow 1.5x+6-3=4.5x-9\\\\\Rightarrow 1.5x+3=4.5x-9\\\\\Rightarrow 4.5x-1.5x=3+9\\\\\Rightarrow 3x=12\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{12}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow x=4.

Thus, the required value of x is 4.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

1.5(x + 4) - 3 = 3.5(x - 2)

We need to use the distributive property to simplify this.

1.5x + 6 - 3 = 3.5x - 7

<em><u>Subtract 1.5x from both sides</u></em>

6 - 3 = 2x - 7

<em><u>Simplify left side</u></em>

3 = 2x - 7

<em><u>Add 7 to both sides</u></em>

10 = 2x

<em><u>Divide both sides by 2</u></em>

x = 5

What is -7/2y = 21/2 what is the solution_______? Brainliest is on the mark if 10 point will be added as well!
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

y= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

(-7/2)y  =21/2

Divide both sides by (-7/2) = Multiply by (-2/7)

On the left side ,after cancellation you have only  y

On the right side you multiply 21/2 by (-2/7)

y= (21*-2) / 2*7

y=(-42)/14

y=(-21)/7

y=- 3    

check:

-(7/2) of- 3 is  10.5         21/2=10.5

The minimum and maximum temperature on a cold day can be modeled by the equation 2[x-6]+14=38 What are the min and max temperatu
SashulF [63]
Here are the steps to calculating the given equation:

Distribute 2 to x and 6: 2x-12+14=38
Group like terms: 2x+(-12+14)=38
Combine like terms: 2x+2=38
Subtract number on 'x' side: 2x+2-2=38-2
Simplify: 2x=36
Divide: 2x/2=36/2
Simplify: x=18
Label with correct terms: 
I cannot do this because you did not provide sufficient information, I would need to know what the difference between the two, or if 'x' stood for one particular temperature. Hope that helped enough with what you provided.

The radius of a circle is 9 times the radius of a smaller circle. The area of the smaller circle is 50 square centimeters. What
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Let R = radius of big circle

r=radius of small circle

A1=Area of small circle

A2=Area of big circle

R=9r

A1=50cm^2

A1=pi*r*2

A2=pi*R^2

A2=pi*(9r)^2

A2=81*pi*r^2

A2=81*A1

A2=4050cm^2

Hence the big circle has area of 4050cm^2
