Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 102.5(x - 11.92) = 71.6 \), follow these steps:

1. Divide both sides of the equation by 102.5:

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

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

\[
\frac{71.6}{102.5} \approx 0.698536
\]

3. Now, add 11.92 to both sides:

\[
x = 0.698536 + 11.92
\]

4. Calculate \( x \):

\[
x \approx 12.618536
\]

5. Round \( x \) to three decimal places:

\[
x \approx 12.619
\]

Therefore, the solution for \( x \) rounded to three decimal places is \( \boxed{12.619} \).
