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

It took Sheldon 17 5/6 minutes to walk to Raj's house. The bus ride home took Sheldon 4 5/8 minutes. How many more minutes did i
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

it will take her  13\frac{5}{24} minutes more to walk down to Raj's House

Step-by-step explanation:

It took Sheldon 17 \frac{5}{6}  minutes to walk to Raj's house

It also took Sheldon 4\frac{5}{8} minutes to use the bus.

To get the time difference between the two transport mechanisms, we subtract their different time durations.

This will be

17\frac{5}{6} - 4\frac{5}{8}=317/24

We can convert this to Mixed fractions as shown 13\frac{5}{24} minutes.

Therefore, it will take her  13\frac{5}{24} minutes more to walk down to Raj's House

Please help me!!!<br>What is the value of n?<br>2n = 8 + 4n<br>A)-4<br>B) 4<br>C)-4/3<br>D)4/3
erica [24]
To get the value of n u have to set n by itself, first we have to set teh smallest n to teh other side this will give you 0=8+2n now subtract the 8 from both sides because it is positive and the only way to get rid of a positive is with a negative this will give you -8=2n, now to set n by itself divide by 2 in both sides because in order to get rid of a multiplication you have to divide, this will give you n=-4, so your answer will be letter A

Hope this helps
