Solve 5(2+1*2)=4(x-1.5)

$$5 ( 2 + 1 \cdot 2 ) = 4 ( x - 1.5 )$$

Solve for x

$$x=6.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply 1 and 2 to get 2.

$$5\left(2+2\right)=4\left(x-1.5\right)$$

Add 2 and 2 to get 4.

$$5\times 4=4\left(x-1.5\right)$$

Multiply 5 and 4 to get 20.

$$20=4\left(x-1.5\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x-1.5.

$$20=4x-6$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$4x-6=20$$

Add 6 to both sides.

$$4x=20+6$$

Add 20 and 6 to get 26.

$$4x=26$$

Divide both sides by 4.

$$x=\frac{26}{4}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{26}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

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