Hi there!
The Eqn. is :-
1.5 (x + 4) - 3 = 4.5 (x - 2)
1.5x + 6 - 3 = 4.5x - 9
Combining the like terms :-
1.5x - 4.5x = - 9 - 6 + 3
- 3x = - 15 + 3
- 3x = - 12
x =

x = 4
Hence, the required answer is → x = 4
~ Hope it helps!
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = 3x + 2 is in this form with slope m = 3
• Parallel lines have equal slope
• The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other
A
y = -
x - 8 has slope m = - 
3 and -
are negative reciprocals
This line is perpendicular to y = 3x + 2
B
y = 3x - 10 has slope m = 3
This line is parallel to y = 3x + 2
C
y = 2x + 4 has slope m = 2
This line is neither parallel nor perpendicular to y = 3x + 2
