What is the solution to the equation 0.24 (x - 10.2) 6 when solving for x? (1 point)
11.64
14.8
16.44
35.2
To solve this equation for x, first distribute the 0.24 to terms inside the parentheses:
0.24 * x - 0.24 * 10.2 = 6
0.24x - 2.448 = 6
Then, add 2.448 to both sides of the equation:
0.24x = 6 + 2.448
0.24x = 8.448
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 0.24 to isolate x:
x = 8.448 / 0.24
x ≈ 35.2
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 35.2.
