Solve for x in the equation 811(x+45)=2455.(1 point)
$$
To solve for x in the equation 811(x+45)=2455, we can start by simplifying the equation.
First, distribute the 811 to both terms inside the parentheses:
811(x+45) = 2455
811x + 811 * 45 = 2455
Next, simplify the equation further by multiplying:
811x + 36595 = 2455
Now, let's isolate the variable x by moving the constant term to the other side of the equation.
Subtract 36595 from both sides:
811x + 36595 - 36595 = 2455 - 36595
811x = -34140
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 811 to solve for x:
811x/811 = -34140/811
x = -42.12 (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, the solution to the equation 811(x+45)=2455 is x = -42.12.
