Answer 1

To solve the equation 1.26(x−7.352)=6.426 for x, we can start by distributing the 1.26 to the terms inside the parentheses:

1.26*x - 1.26*7.352 = 6.426

Then, we simplify the equation:

1.26x - 9.25432 = 6.426

Next, we isolate the x term by adding 9.25432 to both sides of the equation:

1.26x = 6.426 + 9.25432

1.26x = 15.68032

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 1.26 to solve for x:

x = 15.68032 / 1.26

x ≈ 12.452

Therefore, the solution to the equation when solving for x is approximately 12.452.
