To solve the equation 4.72(x - 6.56) = 10.4, the first step is indeed to reverse the multiplication by dividing both sides by 4.72. Dividing both sides by 4.72 gives:

(x - 6.56) = 10.4 / 4.72

Now, to isolate x on one side, we need to add 6.56 to both sides:

(x - 6.56) + 6.56 = (10.4 / 4.72) + 6.56

Simplifying:

x = (10.4 / 4.72) + 6.56
