Answer 1

82.68(x + 11.892) = 72.8464

To solve for x, you should isolate x on one side of the equation.

First, distribute 82.68 to the terms inside the parentheses:

82.68x + 82.68(11.892) = 72.8464

82.68x + 978.50576 = 72.8464

Next, subtract 978.50576 from both sides of the equation:

82.68x = 72.8464 - 978.50576

82.68x = -905.65936

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 82.68 to solve for x:

x = -(905.65936) / 82.68

The solution for x is approximately -10.956.
