To solve the equation 0.24(x-10.2) = 6 for x, we need to isolate x.
First, distribute 0.24 to the terms inside the parentheses:
0.24 * x - 0.24 * 10.2 = 6
0.24x - 2.448 = 6
Next, add 2.448 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x:
0.24x - 2.448 + 2.448 = 6 + 2.448
0.24x = 8.448
Lastly, divide both sides of the equation by 0.24 to solve for x:
(0.24x)/0.24 = 8.448/0.24
x = 35.2
Therefore, the solution to the equation 0.24(x-10.2) = 6 when solving for x is 35.2.
