I think there is a mistake somwhere . Please can someone else try it out

0.75(x+20)=2+0.5(x-2)

Distribute on both sides

0.75x+15= 2+0.5x-1

Add common factors

0.75x+15=1+0.5x

Subtract 0.5x on both sides

0.25x+15=1

Subtract 15 on both sides

0.25x=-14

Divide by 0.25 on both sides

x = -56

0.75x+15=2+0.5x-1

0.25x=1-15

0.25x=-14

x=-56

Step-by-step explanation:

0.75x+15=2+0.5x-1

0.25x=1-15

0.25x=-14

x=-56

Step-by-step explanation:

0.75(x+20)=2+0.5(x-2)

Distribute on both sides

0.75x+15= 2+0.5x-1

Add common factors

0.75x+15=1+0.5x

Subtract 0.5x on both sides

0.25x+15=1

Subtract 15 on both sides

0.25x=-14

Divide by 0.25 on both sides

x = -56

x = 34

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the value of x in the given equation :

3+0.75(x-2)=0.5(x+20)

Solving as follows:

3+0.75x-1.5=0.5x+10

Taking like terms together,

3-1.5-10=0.5x-0.75x

-8.5=-0.25x

x = 34

So, the value of x is 34.
