To solve the equation:
60 is equal to 24.7 plus the product of 2.71 and 12.
First, calculate the product on the right side of the equation:
2.71 multiplied by 12 equals 32.52.
Now, the equation is modified as follows:
60 is equal to 24.7 plus 32.52.
Next, combine 24.7 and 32.52 to calculate the value on the right side:
24.7 added to 32.52 equals 57.22.
So, the equation now stands as:
60 is equal to 57.22.
Since 60 is not equal to 57.22, this equation has no valid solution. The original equation is not accurate.
