Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 89(x+12) = 323 \), follow these steps:

1. First, divide both sides of the equation by 89 to isolate the term \( (x + 12) \): \[ x + 12 = \frac{323}{89} \]

2. Calculate the right side: \[ \frac{323}{89} = 3.64 \] So now the equation looks like this: \[ x + 12 = 3.64 \]

3. Next, subtract 12 from both sides to solve for \( x \): \[ x = 3.64 - 12 \] \[ x = -8.36 \]

So, the solution for \( x \) is: \[ \boxed{-8.36} \]
