Question 322797
{{{-0.5(0.3x-0.6)=-1.5}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-0.5(0.3x)-0.5(-0.6)=-1.5}}} Distribute



{{{-0.15x+0.3=-1.5}}} Multiply



{{{-0.15x=-1.5-0.3}}} Subtract 0.3 from both sides.



{{{-0.15x=-1.8}}} Combine like terms.



{{{x=(-1.8)/(-0.15)}}} Divide both sides by -0.15 .



{{{x=12}}} Divide



So the solution is {{{x=12}}}
