To solve for x, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of the coefficient of x, which is 102.5.

102.5(x-11.92) = 71.6

Divide both sides by 102.5:

x - 11.92 = 71.6/102.5

x - 11.92 = 0.69878

Add 11.92 to both sides:

x = 0.69878 + 11.92

x = 12.618

Rounded to 3 decimal places, x = 12.618.
Solve for n
in the equation 50.3(n+9.25)=−120.72
To solve for n, we can start by dividing both sides of the equation by 50.3.

50.3(n + 9.25) = -120.72

Divide both sides by 50.3:

n + 9.25 = -120.72/50.3

n + 9.25 = -2.4

Subtract 9.25 from both sides:

n = -2.4 - 9.25

n = -11.65

So, n = -11.65.
