To solve the equation \( 0.24(x - 10.2) = 6 \), follow these steps:
-
Divide both sides by 0.24: \[ x - 10.2 = \frac{6}{0.24} \]
-
Calculate \( \frac{6}{0.24} \): \[ \frac{6}{0.24} = 25 \]
-
Now the equation is: \[ x - 10.2 = 25 \]
-
Add 10.2 to both sides: \[ x = 25 + 10.2 \]
-
Calculate \( 25 + 10.2 \): \[ x = 35.2 \]
So, the solution for \( x \) is \( \boxed{35.2} \).
