Question

What is the value of x in the equation 1.5(x + 4) – 3 = 4.5(x – 2)?

Answer 1

Answer:

open the brackets of two sides

ie; 1.5x+6-3=4.5x-9

1.5x+3=4.5x-9

4.5x-1.5x=3+9

3x=12

X=4

Answer 2

1.5x+6-3=4.5(x-2)
1.5x+6-3=4.5x-9
1.5x+3=4.5x-9
1.5x-4.5x+3=-9
1.5x-4.5x=-9-3
-3x=-9-3
-3=-12

X=4
