Q:
What is the value of x in the equation 1.5(x + 4) β 3 = 4.5(x β 2)?
Accepted Solution
A:
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 = [tex]\dfrac {- 12}{- 3}[/tex]
x = 4
Hence, the required answer is β x = 4
~ Hope it helps!
