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

4

1.5(x+4) - 3 = 4.5( x-2)open brackets on both sides

1.5 x +6 -3= 4.5x- 9collect like terms

3+9 = 4.5 x- 1.5x

12=3xdivide by 3 both sides to get x

12/3=x

x=4

to find the total number of combinations, multiply the quantity of each item by each other:

2 pairs of shoes x 3 pairs of shorts = 6 different combinations.

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

4x - 6 + 6 = 4x - 6 + 6

4x = 4x

x = x
