Answer :
The value of x satisfying the equation 1.5(x + 4) - 3 = 4.5(x - 2) is : -
1.5(x + 4) - 3 = 4.5(x - 2)
Using the distributive property, multiply the terms in the equation.
1.5x + 1.5 × 4 - 3 = 4.5x - 4.5 × 2
1.5x + 6 - 3= 4.5x - 9
Isolate the variable x using transposing method
4.5x - 1.5x = 6 - 3 + 9
3x=15-3
3x = 12
Therefore, x = 12/3 = 4
The value of x satisfying the equation 1.5(x + 4) - 3 = 4.5(x - 2) is 4.
