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

Answer 1

To solve for x, we will apply the distributive property by multiplying 102.5 with both terms inside the parentheses:
102.5(x - 11.92) = 71.6
102.5 * x - 102.5 * 11.92 = 71.6
102.5x - 1219 = 71.6

Next, we will isolate the variable term by adding 1219 to both sides:
102.5x - 1219 + 1219 = 71.6 + 1219
102.5x = 1290.6

Finally, we will solve for x by dividing both sides by 102.5:
x = 1290.6/102.5

Calculating the division, we find that x is approximately:
x ≈ 12.594
