To solve the equation, we can start by distributing the 2 to the terms inside the parentheses:
2 * 1.5x - 2 * 7 = 6
This simplifies to:
3x - 14 = 6
Next, we can add 14 to both sides of the equation to isolate the x term:
3x - 14 + 14 = 6 + 14
3x = 20
Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for x:
3x/3 = 20/3
x = 20/3
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 20/3 (or approximately 6.67).
2 (1.5x - 7) = 6
