Solve for x in the equation 102.5 (x - 11.92) = 71.6

Question

Round the answer to three decimal places

Answer 1

Expanding and simplifying the equation, we have:

102.5x - 1211.9 = 71.6

Adding 1211.9 to both sides, we get:

102.5x = 1283.5

Dividing both sides by 102.5, we find:

x = 12.5

Rounded to three decimal places, x is approximately 12.500.

Answer 2

Wrong

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake.

Expanding and simplifying the equation, we have:

102.5x - 1212.1 = 71.6

Adding 1212.1 to both sides, we get:

102.5x = 1283.7

Dividing both sides by 102.5, we find:

x = 12.516

Rounded to three decimal places, x is approximately 12.516.

Answer 4

Choices are
12.618
12.619
-11.221
0.699

Answer 5

Let's solve the equation step by step:

102.5 (x - 11.92) = 71.6

First, distribute 102.5:

102.5x - 1229.9 = 71.6

Next, add 1229.9 to both sides:

102.5x = 1301.5

Now, divide both sides by 102.5:

x = 1301.5 / 102.5

x ≈ 12.709

Rounded to three decimal places, x is approximately 12.709.

Unfortunately, none of the given choices (12.618, 12.619, -11.221, 0.699) match the solution.

Answer 6

U bots have a few screws missing.
Solve for x in the equation 102.5 (x - 11.92) = 71.6

Answer 7

Apologies for the confusion earlier. Let's solve the equation correctly:

102.5 (x - 11.92) = 71.6

First, distribute 102.5:

102.5x - 1222.7 = 71.6

Next, add 1222.7 to both sides:

102.5x = 1294.3

Now, divide both sides by 102.5:

x = 1294.3 / 102.5

x ≈ 12.635

Rounded to three decimal places, x is approximately 12.635.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Apologies for the previous incorrect responses. Let's solve the equation correctly:

102.5 (x - 11.92) = 71.6

First, distribute 102.5:

102.5x - 1223.3 = 71.6

Next, add 1223.3 to both sides:

102.5x = 1294.9

Now, divide both sides by 102.5:

x = 1294.9 / 102.5

x ≈ 12.630

Rounded to three decimal places, x is approximately 12.630.
