To solve the equation 102.5 (x - 11.92) = 71.6, we can start by distributing the 102.5 to get rid of the parentheses:

102.5x - 1231 = 71.6

Next, we can add 1231 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable term:

102.5x = 1302.6

Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 102.5:

x = 1302.6 / 102.5

Rounding the answer to 3 decimal places, x is approximately:

12.698
Wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct it.

The equation is: 102.5(x - 11.92) = 71.6

We can start by expanding the equation:

102.5x - 1228.9 = 71.6

Next, we can isolate the variable by adding 1228.9 to both sides:

102.5x = 1300.5

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

x = 1300.5 / 102.5

Rounding the answer to 3 decimal places, x is approximately:

12.689
