What is the value of x in the equation 1.5(x + 4) – 3 = 4.5(x – 2)? 3 4 5 9

1.5(x+4)-3=4.5(x-2)

First, distribute 1.5 into x and 4, and 4.5 into x and -2, to get rid of the parentheses. Everything that we do to solve this equation is to isolate x to solve for its value.

1.5x+6-3=4.5x-9

Combine like terms on both sides (6-3).

1.5x+3=4.5x-9

Subtract 1.5x from both sides.

3=3x-9

Add 9 to both sides.

12=3x

Divide both sides by 3.

4=x

The answer is 4.

I hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

by the trigonometric ratio tangent, tangent equals opposite divided by adjacent.

therefore, tan(50) equals ac/3

multiply each side by 3 to get: ac=3tan(50)

the answer is b.

both equations and proportions are better.
