To solve for x, we will need to simplify the equation and isolate x.

2(1.5x-7) = 6

First, distribute the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses:

3x - 14 = 6

Add 14 to both sides of the equation:

3x = 20

Divide both sides by 3:

x = 20/3

This simplifies to:

x = 6.67 (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, the correct answer is x = 6.67.
