To solve for x in the equation 102.5 (x - 11.92) = 71.6, you can start by distributing the 102.5 to remove the parentheses:

102.5x - 1093.9 = 71.6

Next, add 1093.9 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable:

102.5x = 1165.5

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 102.5 to solve for x:

x = 1165.5 / 102.5

x ≈ 11.364

Rounded to 3 decimal places, x is approximately 11.364.
