To solve this equation, we need to get x alone on one side. To do this, we use the inverse operation of 3.3x to separate the two. Since the equation is multiplying, we're going to divide to separate 3.3 and x. To keep the equation balanced, divide 29.04 by 3.3 as well.

3.3x=29.04

(3.3x)/(3.3) = (29.04)/(3.3)

x = 8.8
Your answer is D :)
