To solve the equation 0.24(x - 10.2) = 6 for x, we need to isolate the variable.

First, distribute the 0.24 to both terms inside the parentheses:

0.24(x - 10.2) = 0.24 * x - 0.24 * 10.2
0.24(x - 10.2) = 0.24x - 2.448

Next, combine like terms:

0.24x - 2.448 = 6

To isolate the variable, add 2.448 to both sides of the equation:

0.24x - 2.448 + 2.448 = 6 + 2.448
0.24x = 8.448

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 0.24:

(0.24x)/0.24 = 8.448/0.24
x = 35.2

Therefore, the solution to the equation 0.24(x - 10.2) = 6 is x = 35.2.
