Answer: x=4

Step by step explanation

Simplifying

6 + - 1.5x = 10 + - 2.5x

Solving

6 + - 1.5x = 10 + - 2.5x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '2.5x' to each side of the equation.

6 + - 1.5x + 2.5x = 10 + - 2.5x + 2.5x

Combine like terms: - 1.5x + 2.5x = 1x

6 + 1x = 10 + - 2.5x + 2.5x

Combine like terms: - 2.5x + 2.5x = 0.0

6 + 1x = 10 + 0.0

6 + 1x = 10

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + - 6 + 1x = 10 + - 6

Combine like terms: 6 + - 6 = 0

0 + 1x = 10 + - 6

1x = 10 + - 6

Combine like terms: 10 + - 6 = 4

1x = 4

Divide each side by '1'.

x = 4

Simplifying

x = 4

Combine like terms: - 2.5x + 2.5x = 0.0

6 + 1x = 10 + 0.0

6 + 1x = 10

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + - 6 + 1x = 10 + - 6

Combine like terms: 6 + - 6 = 0

0 + 1x = 10 + - 6

1x = 10 + - 6

Combine like terms: 10 + - 6 = 4

1x = 4

Divide each side by '1'.

x = 4
