To solve for x in the equation 102.5(x - 11.92) = 71.6, you can start by dividing both sides of the equation by 102.5.

(x - 11.92) = 71.6 / 102.5

Now, simplify the right side of the equation by performing the division.

(x - 11.92) = 0.6985365853658537

Next, add 11.92 to both sides of the equation to isolate x.

x = 11.92 + 0.6985365853658537

x = 12.618536585365854

Rounded to 3 decimal places, x = 12.618.

Answer: A. 12.618
