To solve for x in the equation 102.5(x−11.92)=71.6, we can simplify the equation first:
102.5(x - 11.92) = 71.6
Divide both sides of the equation by 102.5:
x - 11.92 = 71.6/102.5
x - 11.92 = 0.699512195122
Now, add 11.92 to both sides of the equation to isolate x:
x = 0.699512195122 + 11.92
x = 12.619512195122
Rounding to 3 decimal places, x ≈ 12.619.
