Given:

4.5(4−)+36=202−2.5(3+28)

Solution:

In order to solve the given numerical equation, we apply the rules of PEMDAS, which stands for parenthesis, exponent, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction.

4.5(4−)+36=202−2.5(3+28)

-18 + 36 =202 -2.5(31)

18 = 202 - 77.5

18 = 124.5

Transpose 18 on the other side of the equation, note that when transposing a number, the sign changes.

= 124.5 - 18

=106.5

Final answer:

=106.5
