Answer:
The value of x is 26.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided equation.
[tex]4.5(4 - x) + 36 = 202 - 2.5(3x + 28)[/tex]
Open the parentheses.
[tex]18 -4.5x + 36 = 202 - 7.5x - 70[/tex]
[tex]54-4.5x= 132 - 7.5x[/tex]
Add 7.5x to the both sides.
[tex]54-4.5x+7.5x= 132 - 7.5x+7.5x[/tex]
[tex]54+3x= 132[/tex]
Subtract 54 from both sides.
[tex]3x=78[/tex]
Divide both sides by 3.
[tex]x=26[/tex]
Hence the value of x is 26.
