2 (1.5x - 7) = 6

To solve the equation, we can start by distributing the 2 to the terms inside the parentheses:

2 * 1.5x - 2 * 7 = 6

This simplifies to:

3x - 14 = 6

Next, we can add 14 to both sides of the equation to isolate the x term:

3x - 14 + 14 = 6 + 14
3x = 20

Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for x:

3x/3 = 20/3
x = 20/3

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 20/3 (or approximately 6.67).
