x=22.2

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( x + 14.7 = 36.5 \), we need to isolate \( x \).

1. Subtract \( 14.7 \) from both sides of the equation:

\[ x = 36.5 - 14.7 \]

2. Now, perform the subtraction:

\[ x = 21.8 \]

So, the solution is:

\( x = 21.8 \)

The correct response is: x equals 21.8.
