To solve the equation \(3.2x + 12 = 48\), follow these steps:
-
Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:
\[ 3.2x + 12 - 12 = 48 - 12 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 3.2x = 36 \]
-
Now, divide both sides by 3.2 to isolate \(x\):
\[ x = \frac{36}{3.2} \]
-
Calculate \( \frac{36}{3.2} \):
\[ x = 11.25 \]
So the solution is:
\[ x = 11.25 \]
