x = 0.67
x = 0.67

x = 7
x = 7

x = 6.67
x = 6.67

x = 9.5
x = 9.5

Answer 1

To solve for x, we can start by simplifying the equation:

2(1.5x - 7) = 6

Distribute the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses:

3x - 14 = 6

Next, add 14 to both sides to isolate the x term:

3x = 20

Finally, divide both sides by 3 to solve for x:

x = 20/3

So, the correct answer is: x = 6.67
