Answer:
[tex]0.5(4x + 6) = 5x + 24.7 \\ 2x + 3 = 5x + 24.7 \\ 3 - 24.7 = 5x - 2x \\ - 21.7 = 3x \\ \frac{ - 21.7}{3} = \frac{3x}{3 } \\ x = - 7.2333[/tex]
x=-37.4
Step-by-step explanation:
0.5(4x + 6) = 5x + 24.7 (0.5*4x=4.5x)
4.5x+6=5x+24.7
4.5x-5x+6=5x-5x+24.7
-0.5x+6=24.7
-0.5x+6-6=24.7-6
-0.5x=18.7
-0.5x/-0.5=18.7/-0.5
