Answer:
[tex]\bold{x=2}[/tex]
Step By Step Explanation:
Expand [tex]\bold{2.5\left(6x-4\right): \ 15x-10}[/tex]
Expand [tex]\bold{10+4\left(1.5+0.5x\right): \ 2x+16}[/tex]
[tex]\bold{15x-10=2x+16}[/tex]
Add 10 To Both Sides
[tex]\bold{15x-10+10=2x+16+10}[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]\bold{15x=2x+26}[/tex]
Subtract 2x From Both Sides
[tex]\bold{15x-2x=2x+26-2x}[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]\bold{13x=26}[/tex]
Divide Both Sides By 13
[tex]\bold{\frac{13x}{13}=\frac{26}{13}}[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]\bold{x=2}[/tex]
