Question

$$1.5x-2=4$$

Solve for x

$x=4$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add $2$ to both sides.

$$1.5x=4+2$$

Add $4$ and $2$ to get $6$.

$$1.5x=6$$

Divide both sides by $1.5$.

$$x=\frac{6}{1.5}$$

Expand $\frac{6}{1.5}$ by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by $10$.

$$x=\frac{60}{15}$$

Divide $60$ by $15$ to get $4$.

$$x=4$$
