Answer 1

To solve the equation 1.26(x-7.352) = 6.426 for x, you will need to distribute the 1.26 to both terms inside the parentheses:

1.26 * x - 1.26 * 7.352 = 6.426

1.26x - 9.26052 = 6.426

Next, add 9.26052 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x:

1.26x = 6.426 + 9.26052

1.26x = 15.68652

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

x = 15.68652 / 1.26

This gives us:

x = 12.452

So the solution to the equation when solving for x is 12.452.
