​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

2.45x + 1.5 = 3.7x + -2.25

Reorder the terms:

1.5 + 2.45x = 3.7x + -2.25

Reorder the terms:

1.5 + 2.45x = -2.25 + 3.7x

Solving

1.5 + 2.45x = -2.25 + 3.7x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3.7x' to each side of the equation.

1.5 + 2.45x + -3.7x = -2.25 + 3.7x + -3.7x

Combine like terms: 2.45x + -3.7x = -1.25x

1.5 + -1.25x = -2.25 + 3.7x + -3.7x

Combine like terms: 3.7x + -3.7x = 0.0

1.5 + -1.25x = -2.25 + 0.0

1.5 + -1.25x = -2.25

Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation.

1.5 + -1.5 + -1.25x = -2.25 + -1.5

Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0

0.0 + -1.25x = -2.25 + -1.5

-1.25x = -2.25 + -1.5

Combine like terms: -2.25 + -1.5 = -3.75

-1.25x = -3.75

Divide each side by '-1.25'.

x = 3

Simplifying

x = 3
