To solve the equation 1.26(x - 7.352) = 6.426, we first distribute 1.26 to (x - 7.352):

1.26x - 1.26 * 7.352 = 6.426

Next, simplify the equation:

1.26x - 9.25032 = 6.426

Then, isolate 1.26x by adding 9.25032 to both sides of the equation:

1.26x = 6.426 + 9.25032
1.26x = 15.67632

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 1.26 to solve for x:

x = 15.67632/1.26
x ≈ 12.452 (rounded to three decimal places)

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x ≈ 12.452.
