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

First, distribute 1.5 into x and 4, and 4.5 into x and -2, to get rid of the parentheses. Everything that we do to solve this equation is to isolate x to solve for its value.

1.5x+6-3=4.5x-9

Combine like terms on both sides (6-3).

1.5x+3=4.5x-9

Subtract 1.5x from both sides.

3=3x-9

Add 9 to both sides.

12=3x

Divide both sides by 3.

4=x

The answer is 4.

I hope this helps :)

Suppose X, Y, and Z are random variables with the joint density function f(x, y, z) = Ce−(0.5x + 0.2y + 0.1z) if x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, z

kompoz [17]

$f_{X,Y,Z}(x,y,z)=\begin{cases}Ce^{-(0.5x+0.2y+0.1z)}&\text{for }x\ge0,y\ge0,z\ge0\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

is a proper joint density function if, over its support, $f$ is non-negative and the integral of $f$ is 1. The first condition is easily met as long as $C\ge0$ . To meet the second condition, we require
