Solve for x

2(1.5x - 7) = 6

X = 0.67
X = 7
X = 6.67
X = 9.5

1 answer

To solve for x, we can start by simplifying the expression on the left side of the equation:

2(1.5x - 7) = 6
Distribute the 2 to each term inside the parentheses:
3x - 14 = 6

Next, we can isolate the variable x by adding 14 to both sides of the equation:
3x - 14 + 14 = 6 + 14
3x = 20

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for x:
3x/3 = 20/3
x = 20/3

Therefore, x is approximately equal to 6.67.
