Answer:
[tex]\large\boxed{C)\ 2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]2.5(6x-4)=10+4(1.5+0.5x)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\(2.5)(6x)+(2.5)(-4)=10+(4)(1.5)+(4)(0.5x)\\\\15x-10=10+6+2x\qquad\text{subtract 2x from both sides}\\\\13x-10=16\qquad\text{add 10 to both sides}\\\\13x=26\qquad\text{divide both sides by 13}\\\\x=2[/tex]
