To solve the equation \( 102.5(x - 11.92) = 71.6 \), we will first isolate \( x \).

  1. Start by dividing both sides by 102.5:

    \[ x - 11.92 = \frac{71.6}{102.5} \]

  2. Calculate \( \frac{71.6}{102.5} \):

    \[ \frac{71.6}{102.5} \approx 0.698292 \]

  3. This gives us:

    \[ x - 11.92 \approx 0.698292 \]

  4. Now, add 11.92 to both sides to solve for \( x \):

    \[ x \approx 0.698292 + 11.92 \]

  5. Calculating the right-hand side gives:

    \[ x \approx 12.618292 \]

  6. Rounding to three decimal places, we have:

    \[ x \approx 12.618 \]

The answer is:

12.618

To solve the equation \( 50.3(n + 9.25) = -120.72 \), we will follow these steps:

  1. Divide both sides by 50.3 to isolate \( n + 9.25 \):

    \[ n + 9.25 = \frac{-120.72}{50.3} \]

  2. Calculate \( \frac{-120.72}{50.3} \):

    \[ n + 9.25 \approx -2.396834 \]

  3. Now, subtract 9.25 from both sides to solve for \( n \):

    \[ n \approx -2.396834 - 9.25 \]

  4. Calculating the right-hand side gives:

    \[ n \approx -11.646834 \]

  5. Rounding to two decimal places, we have:

    \[ n \approx -11.65 \]

The answer is:

−11.65 (negative 11.65)
