Solve for x in the equation 102.5(x 11.92) =71.6 round your answer to three decimal places
To solve the equation 102.5(x - 11.92) = 71.6, first distribute the 102.5:
102.5x - 102.5(11.92) = 71.6
Next, multiply 102.5 by 11.92:
102.5x - 1219 = 71.6
Subtract 1219 from both sides:
102.5x = 71.6 + 1219
102.5x = 1290.6
Finally, divide both sides by 102.5:
x = 1290.6 / 102.5 ≈ 12.585
Rounded to three decimal places, x ≈ 12.585.
