Solve for x in the equation 102.5(x−11.92)=71.6 . Round your answer to 3 decimal places.

Answer 1

To solve for x, we can begin by isolating x on one side of the equation.

First, distribute the 102.5 on the left side of the equation:

102.5x - 102.5(11.92) = 71.6

Next, simplify:

102.5x - 1207.9 = 71.6

Now, isolate x by adding 1207.9 to both sides:

102.5x = 71.6 + 1207.9

102.5x = 1279.5

Finally, solve for x by dividing both sides by 102.5:

x = 1279.5/102.5

x ≈ 12.488

Rounding to 3 decimal places, x ≈ 12.488.

Answer 2

very close! but the answer is a bigger number! :)

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake. Let's re-calculate.

x = (71.6 + 1207.9) / 102.5
x = 1279.5 / 102.5
x ≈ 12.475

Rounded to 3 decimal places, x ≈ 12.475.
