Answer:
x=21.5/23.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
17.5+4x=−6.5(3x−6)
17.5+4x=(−6.5)(3x)+(−6.5)(−6)(Distribute)
17.5+4x=−19.5x+39
4x+17.5=−19.5x+39
Step 2: Add 19.5x to both sides.
4x+17.5+19.5x=−19.5x+39+19.5x
23.5x+17.5=39
Step 3: Subtract 17.5 from both sides.
23.5x+17.5−17.5=39−17.5
23.5x=21.5
Step 4: Divide both sides by 23.5.
23.5x
23.5
=
21.5
23.5
