Solve (x-8*2)*1.5=x-6*2

$$(x-8 \times 2) \times 1.5=x-6 \times 2$$

Solve for x

$$x=24$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply 8 and 2 to get 16.

$$\left(x-16\right)\times 1.5=x-6\times 2$$

Use the distributive property to multiply x-16 by 1.5.

$$1.5x-24=x-6\times 2$$

Multiply 6 and 2 to get 12.

$$1.5x-24=x-12$$

Subtract x from both sides.

$$1.5x-24-x=-12$$

Combine 1.5x and -x to get 0.5x.

$$0.5x-24=-12$$

Add 24 to both sides.

$$0.5x=-12+24$$

Add -12 and 24 to get 12.

$$0.5x=12$$

Divide both sides by 0.5.

$$x=\frac{12}{0.5}$$

Expand \frac{12}{0.5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{120}{5}$$

Divide 120 by 5 to get 24.

$$x=24$$
