Answer:  The correct option is (B) 4.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the value of x in the following  equation :

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

To find the value of x, we need to solve equation (i) for x.

The solution of equation (i) is s follows :

1.5(x+4)-3=4.5(x-2)\\\\\Rightarrow 1.5x+6-3=4.5x-9\\\\\Rightarrow 1.5x+3=4.5x-9\\\\\Rightarrow 4.5x-1.5x=3+9\\\\\Rightarrow 3x=12\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{12}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow x=4.

Thus, the required value of x is 4.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

1.5(x + 4) - 3 = 3.5(x - 2)

We need to use the distributive property to simplify this.

1.5x + 6 - 3 = 3.5x - 7

<em><u>Subtract 1.5x from both sides</u></em>

6 - 3 = 2x - 7

<em><u>Simplify left side</u></em>

3 = 2x - 7

<em><u>Add 7 to both sides</u></em>

10 = 2x

<em><u>Divide both sides by 2</u></em>

x = 5

Desiree works 28 hours per week. She has a monthly income of $120 from investments. Desiree also plays in a band one night a wee
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
So hmmm let's see
she has a monthly income of 120 from investments, now, there are 12 months in a year, so her yearly income from investments are 120*12 or
$1440

she plays on a band, and makes 200 a week, now, there are 52 weeks in a year, so her yearly income from band playing is 200 * 52, or
$10400

her total annual income is 49696, now, if we subtract the band and investment income, we'd be left over with only what comes from her job payrate
so 49696 - 1440 - 10400 is 37856

so, she makes from her job, $37856 annually

now, she only works 28 hours weekly, how much is that yearly?   well, 52 weeks in a year, she works 28*52 hours a year, let us divide 37856 by that

37856 ÷ ( 28 * 52)   well, it ends up as 26

so, her hourly payrate is $26 per hour

now, she wants to ask for a raise, to make 51880 annually

well, if we check the difference of 51880 and 49696, that'd leave us with the difference in pay, or the raise annual amount

51880 - 49696 = 2184

ok, so she wants $2184 annually more from her work
how much is that in the hours she works annually?  well 2184 ÷ ( 28 * 52)
