1. Solve for x. Show each step of the solution.

4.5 (8 - X) + 36 = 102 - 2.5 (3x+24)

Answer:

x = - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

4.5 (8 - x) + 36 = 102 - 2.5 (3x + 24)

4.5 (8) - 4.5 (x) + 36 = 102 - 2.5 (3x) - 2.5 (24)

36 - 4.5x + 36 = 102 - 7.5x - 60

72 - 4.5x = 102 - 7.5x - 60

-4.5x = 102 - 7.5x - 60 - 72

-4.5x + 7.5x = - 30

3x = - 30

x = - 30/3

x = - 10

Sorry if its wrong, I try my best.
