What is the value of x in the equation

1.5(x+4)-3 = 4.5(x-2)

first step is distribute what is in parenthesis on both sides:

1.5x + 6 -3 = 4.5x - 9

combine like terms on the left side:

1.5x+3 = 4.5x -9

subtract 1.5x from both sides:

3 = 3x-9

add 9 to each side:

12 = 3x

divide both sides by 3

x = 12/3
x = 4

The domain of the function is  - infinity to -+ infinity (R), the terminal limits are unique, it is - infinity
so the answer is down on the left, down on the right
