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 :)
