What is the value of x in the equation 1.5(x + 4) -3 = 4.5(x - 2)?
O 3
4
5
O9

4

Step-by-step explanation:

bc I said so >:D

B - the answer is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First, distribute on both sides.

1.5 × x = 1.5x

4 × 1.5 = 6

4.5 × x = 4.5x

-2 × 4.5 = -9

2. Now, you want to combine like-terms.

1.5x + 6 - 3 = 4.5x - 9

1.5x + 3 = 4.5x - 9

Move the x's on one side.

1.5x - 4.5x = -9 - 3

-3x = -12

Because there are negatives on both sides, you can cancel them both out, so it's now:

3x = 12

Divide 3 from both sides, and you should get 4.

3x/3 = 12/3

x = 4

Let me know if this helps, and if so, maybe consider giving a Brainliest :P

3

step-by-step explanation:

divide 13.5 by 9 to get the scale factor. it equals 1.5

2 * 1.5 = 3

easy its decreasing

step-by-step explanation:

because its top point is at the to of the graph on the left side (atleast from the veiw i see it) now if that top point wast in the lower part of the graph it would be increasing hope this have a nice day
