To solve the equation \( 0.24(x - 10.2) = 6 \) for \( x \), follow these steps:

  1. Isolate the expression: Start by dividing both sides of the equation by 0.24:

    \[ x - 10.2 = \frac{6}{0.24} \]

  2. Calculate the right side:

    \[ \frac{6}{0.24} = 25 \]

    So now the equation is:

    \[ x - 10.2 = 25 \]

  3. Solve for \( x \): Add 10.2 to both sides of the equation:

    \[ x = 25 + 10.2 \]

    Therefore:

    \[ x = 35.2 \]

So, the solution to the equation is \( x = 35.2 \).

Final Answer: 35.2
