Step-by-step explanation:

X=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying 1.5x + 6 = 18 Reorder the terms: 6 + 1.5x = 18 Solving 6 + 1.5x = 18 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-6' to each side of the equation. 6 + -6 + 1.5x = 18 + -6 Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0 0 + 1.5x = 18 + -6 1.5x = 18 + -6 Combine like terms: 18 + -6 = 12 1.5x = 12 Divide each side by '1.5'. x = 8 Simplifying x = 8
