what is the value of x in the equation 2.5(6x - 4)=10 + 4(1.5 + 0.5x)?\n$\frac{1}{3}$\n$\frac{1}{2}$\n2\n13

Explanation:

Step1: Expand both sides

$2.5\times6x - 2.5\times4=10 + 4\times1.5+4\times0.5x$ $15x - 10 = 10+6 + 2x$ $15x - 10=16 + 2x$

Step2: Move terms with x to one - side

$15x-2x=16 + 10$

Step3: Simplify both sides

$13x=26$

Step4: Solve for x

$x=\frac{26}{13}=2$
