ANSWER- X is 2.52083333 or 2.52083 rounded

265-23 is 242. 242 divided into 96 is 2.52083333

(96 x 2.52083333)+23 = 265

This means our X is 2.52083...

Answer:

$\displaystyle (121)/(48)$

or

$2.5208\bar3$

To begin, subtract 23 from both sides of the equation. This will move the constants to the right side.

96x=242

Then, divide both sides of the equation by 96. This will isolate the unknown, x, and allow you to solve the equation.

$\displaystyle (96x)/(96)=(242)/(96)$

$\displaystyle x=(121)/(48)$

There are two different answers that are equivalent but will depend on what you are looking for.

For a fraction answer, your final answer is
$\displaystyle (121)/(48)$ .

For a decimal answer, your final answer is
$2.5208\bar3$ .
