15 ! : d solve for x. show each step of the solution. 4.5 ( 8 – x ) + 36 = 102 – 2.5 (3x + 24)

4.5(8 - x) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(3x + 24)  36 - 4.5x + 36 = 102 - 7.5x - 6072 - 4.5x = 42 - 7.5x-4.5x + 7.5x = 42 - 723x = - 30x = -30/3x = -10 < ===

First we solve your equation step-by-step.4.5  (8  −  x)  +  36  =102  −  2.5  (3  x  +  24)step 1: 4.5  (8  −  x)  +  36  =  102  −  2.5  (3  x  +  24)simplify: (show   the  steps)−4.5  x  +72  =−7.5  x  +  42step 2: add 7.5  x to both sides.  −4.5  x  +  72  +  7.5  x  =−7.5  x+  42  +  7.5  x  3  x  +  72  =  42step 3: subtract 72 from both sides.  3  x  +  72  −  72  =  42  −  723  x  =  −30step 4: divide both sides by 3.3  x  3=  −303  x=  −10so x = -10

(answer 2 )i’m very smart that’s how i know the answer.
