Answer:

100

Explanation:

You are given the equation


4x-4.5=10.73+5.7+7x

There are 5 coefficients:


4, \ -4.5,\ 10.73,\ 5.7,\ 7

Two of them are integers


4,\ 7

two of them are decimals with one digit after point


-4.5,\ 5.7

and one is a decimal with two digits after point


10.73

To get rid of fractions, we have to get rid of digits after point. The maximum number of digits after point is 2, then we have to multiply the equation by 100:


400x-450=1,073x+570+700x
