what is solution to the equation 0.24 (x-10.2) =6 when solving for x.

Question

A 14.8
B 11.64
C 35.2
D 16.44

Answer 1

To solve the equation 0.24 (x-10.2) = 6 for x, we can start by dividing both sides of the equation by 0.24:

0.24 (x-10.2) / 0.24 = 6 / 0.24

Simplifying gives:

x - 10.2 = 25

Now, we can solve for x by adding 10.2 to both sides of the equation:

x - 10.2 + 10.2 = 25 + 10.2

This simplifies to:

x = 35.2

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 35.2.

The correct answer is C) 35.2.
