To solve the equation, first distribute the 48 to each term inside the parentheses:
3(48) + 4/5(48) - 25 = 1 1/2
This simplifies to:
144 + 38.4 - 25 = 1 1/2
Combine like terms:
157.4 - 25 = 1 1/2
132.4 = 3/2
To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. First, convert 1 1/2 to an improper fraction:
1 1/2 = 3/2
Now, add 25 to both sides of the equation:
132.4 + 25 = 3/2
157.4 = 3/2
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to get rid of the fraction:
157.4 * 2 = 3
314.8 = 3
Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x:
x = 314.8 / 3
x = 104.9333
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 104.9333.
