To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
First, distribute the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses:
(2)(1.5x) - (2)(7) = 6
3x - 14 = 6
Next, add 14 to both sides of the equation to move the constant terms to the other side:
3x - 14 + 14 = 6 + 14
3x = 20
Finally, divide both sides by 3 to solve for x:
3x/3 = 20/3
x = 20/3 or approximately 6.67
So the solution for x is x = 20/3 or approximately 6.67.
Solve for x
2(1.5x−7)=6
