Question

Solve for x: 1.5x - 8 = 7 PLS ANSWER

Answer 1

Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

1.5x + -8 = 7

Reorder the terms:

-8 + 1.5x = 7

Solving

-8 + 1.5x = 7

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '8' to each side of the equation.

-8 + 8 + 1.5x = 7 + 8

Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0

0 + 1.5x = 7 + 8

1.5x = 7 + 8

Combine like terms: 7 + 8 = 15

1.5x = 15

Divide each side by '1.5'.

x = 10

Simplifying

x = 10

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5x - 8 = 7

=> 1.5x = 7 + 8

=> 1.5x = 15

$= > \frac{15x}{10} = 15$

$= > x = 15 \times \frac{10}{15}$

=> x = 10 (Ans)
