Answer: -8
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by simplifying : 0.75x + -0.5 = x + 1.5
Reorder: -0.5 + 0.75x = x + 1.5
Solve: -0.5 + 0.75x = x + 1.5
Then you should get the answer

➤ [ Step One ] Multiply Both Sides By 100
[tex]\bold{0.75x\cdot \:100-0.5\cdot \:100=x\cdot \:100+1.5\cdot \:100}[/tex]
➤ [ Step Two ] Refine
[tex]\bold{75x-50=100x+150}[/tex]
➤ [ Step Three ] Add 50 To Both Sides
[tex]\bold{75x-50+50=100x+150+50}[/tex]
➤ [ Step Four ] Simplify
[tex]\bold{75x=100x+200}[/tex]
➤ [ Step Five ] Subtract 100x From Both Sides
[tex]\bold{75x-100x=100x+200-100x}[/tex]
➤ [ Step Six ] Simplify
[tex]\bold{-25x=200}[/tex]
➤ [ Step Seven ] Divide Both Sides By -25
[tex]\bold{\frac{-25x}{-25}=\frac{200}{-25}}[/tex]
➤ [ Step Eight ] Simplify
