Question

Solve for x. 4(x+56.5)=30x-112

Answer 1

x=9.94

Explanation:

4x + 226 = 30x - 112
226+112 = 34x
338 = 34x
338/34=x
9.94=x

Answer 2

x = 13

Explanation:

Let's simplify and solve for x:

4(x+56.5) = 30x - 112

First, we distribute the 4:

4x + 4(56.5) = 30x - 112

Simplifying the expression:

4x + 226 = 30x - 112

Now we move all the x terms to one side and all the constants to the other:

226 + 112 = 30x - 4x

338 = 26x

Finally, we solve for x by dividing both sides by 26:

x = 13

Therefore, the solution to the equation 4(x+56.5)=30x-112 is x = 13.
