Question

$$2.5 x - 7.5 = 3.5 x + 1.5$$

Solve for x

$x=-9$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $3.5x$ from both sides.

$$2.5x-7.5-3.5x=1.5$$

Combine $2.5x$ and $-3.5x$ to get $-x$.

$$-x-7.5=1.5$$

Add $7.5$ to both sides.

$$-x=1.5+7.5$$

Add $1.5$ and $7.5$ to get $9$.

$$-x=9$$

Multiply both sides by $-1$.

$$x=-9$$
