(1.19)3 + X .49= 4.55

This is the last problem on my assignment. I tried but my teacher told me I got it wrong, help please?

Sure, let's solve the equation step by step:

First, let's simplify the equation:

(1.19)3 + X(.49) = 4.55

We multiply 1.19 by 3:

3.57 + X(.49) = 4.55

Next, let's distribute X by 0.49:

3.57 + 0.49X = 4.55

Now, let's isolate X by subtracting 3.57 from both sides of the equation:

0.49X = 4.55 - 3.57

Simplifying that:

0.49X = 0.98

Lastly, divide both sides of the equation by 0.49 to solve for X:

X = 0.98 / 0.49

Evaluating that:

X = 2

So the solution to the equation is X = 2.
