Solve for x.

1.5−x=−4.5

1 answer

To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

1.5−x = -4.5

To isolate x, we can subtract 1.5 from both sides.

1.5−x - 1.5 = -4.5 - 1.5

Simplifying the left side:

-x = -6

To solve for x, we need to isolate it by multiplying both sides of the equation by -1.

-1 * (-x) = -1 * (-6)

Simplifying both sides:

x = 6

Therefore, the solution for x is x = 6.
