Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
2.5(6x - 4) = 10 + 4(1.5 + 0.5x)
Distribute the 2.5
15x - 10 = 10 + 4(1.5 + 0.5x)
Distribute the 4
15x - 10 = 10 + 6 + 2x
Combine like terms
15x - 10 = 16 + 2x
Add 10 to both sides
15x = 26 + 2x
Subtract 2x from both sides
13x = 26
Divide both sides by 13x
x = 2
