To solve the equation \( 1.26(x - 7.352) = 6.426 \) for \( x \), follow these steps:

1. Start by dividing both sides by \( 1.26 \):
\[
x - 7.352 = \frac{6.426}{1.26}
\]

2. Calculate the right side:
\[
\frac{6.426}{1.26} = 5.1
\]

3. Now the equation looks like this:
\[
x - 7.352 = 5.1
\]

4. Add \( 7.352 \) to both sides to isolate \( x \):
\[
x = 5.1 + 7.352
\]

5. Perform the addition:
\[
x = 12.452
\]

Thus, the solution to the equation is \( \boxed{12.452} \).
