Answer: x= -10
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
4.5(8−x)+36=102−2.5(3x+24)
(4.5)(8)+(4.5)(−x)+36=102+(−2.5)(3x)+(−2.5)(24)(Distribute)
36+−4.5x+36=102+−7.5x+−60
(−4.5x)+(36+36)=(−7.5x)+(102+−60)(Combine Like Terms)
−4.5x+72=−7.5x+42
−4.5x+72=−7.5x+42
Step 2: Add 7.5x to both sides.
−4.5x+72+7.5x=−7.5x+42+7.5x
3x+72=42
Step 3: Subtract 72 from both sides.
3x+72−72=42−72
3x=−30
