What is the value of x in the equation 2.5 (6x - 4) = 10 + 4 (1.5 + 0.5x)

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2.5 (6x-4) = 10 + 4 (1.5+0.5x)

First of all we will have to solve the parenthesis

(2.5) (6x) - (2.5) (4) = 10 + (4) (1.5) + (4) (0.5x)

15x-10 = 10+6+2x

We have to isolate x so that we can find its value

15x-10 = 16+2x

15x = 16+2x+10

15x-2x = 26

13x = 26

13x/13 = 26/13

x = 2 ...
