The value of x in equation 1.5(x+4)-3=4.5(x-2) is 4.
We have given the equation is
1.5 (x + 4) - 3 = 4.5 (x - 2)
We will solve this question step by step
Simplify the parenthesis so we get,
1.5x + 6 - 3 = 4.5x - 9
implies that
1.5x+3=4.5x-9
Combining the like terms
A common technique for simplifying algebraic expressions
We have to write variable term one side and numbers are other side so we have to subtract 4.5 from both side and also subtract 3 from both side,
1.5x - 4.5x = - 9 - 3
- 3x = - 12
We have to find the value of x so isolate x
We have to perform opposite operation of multiplication
What is the opposite operation of multiplication?
Division is the opposite operation of multiplication
Therefore divide both side by -3 we get,
[tex]x=\frac{-12}{-3} \\x=4[/tex]
x = 4
Therefore,the value of x is 4.
