First, let's distribute the coefficients:
0.5(4+x) - 0.9(x-3) = 2.52 + 0.5x - 0.9x + 2.7 = 2.5
Now, combine like terms:
2 + 0.5x - 0.9x + 2.7 = 2.52 - 0.4x + 2.7 = 2.54.7 - 0.4x = 2.5
Subtract 4.7 from both sides:
-0.4x = -2.2
Now, divide by -0.4 to solve for x:
x = -2.2 / -0.4x = 5.5
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 5.5.
