Answer: x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

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

1.5x+6)-3=4.5x-9

1.5x+3=4.5x-9

      +9          +9

1.5x+12=4.5x

divide 1.5x and 4.5

12=3x

/3    /3

x=4

Answer: x = - 52

expand

5x+20−3=4.5x−9

then simplify

5x+17=4.5x−9

then subtract 4.5 from each sides

5x+17−4.5x=−9

Simplify  

0.5x+17=−9

then subtract 17 from both sides

0.5x=−9−17

then simplify

0.5x=−2

then divide both side by 0.5

-26/0.5

so x = - 52
