The solution is x=16.1
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve, linear equation in one variable we have to isolate the variable on one side of the equation
Given
[tex]-4.5 = -0.5(x-7.1)[/tex]
dividing both sides by -0.5
[tex]\frac{-4.5}{-0.5} = \frac{-0.5(x-7.1)}{-0.5}\\9 = x-7.1\\x-7.1 = 9[/tex]
adding 7.1 on both sides
[tex]x-7.1+7.1 = 9+7.1\\x = 16.1[/tex]
Hence,
The solution is x=16.1
