Answer 1

Answer:

x=−12/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2(1.5x−2)=−0.5(−4x−32)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−2(1.5x−2)=−0.5(−4x−32)

(−2)(1.5x)+(−2)(−2)=(−0.5)(−4x)+(−0.5)(−32)(Distribute)

−3x+4=2x+16

Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides.

−3x+4−2x=2x+16−2x

−5x+4=16

Step 3: Subtract 4 from both sides.

−5x+4−4=16−4

−5x=12

Step 4: Divide both sides by -5.

−5x−5

=12/−5

x=−12/5
