Question

Solve for x
1,000 = 58.3x+227.9

Answer 1

x=13.243568

Explanation:

1000=58.3x+227.9

Step 1: Flip the equation.

58.3x+227.9=1000

Step 2: Subtract 227.9 from both sides.

58.3x+227.9=1000

−227.9 −227.9

58.3x=772.1

Step 3: Divide both sides by 58.3

58.3x/58.3 = 772.1/58.3

x=13.243568

Answer 2

subtract 227.9 from both sides to get 772.1
then divide both sides by 58.3 to get 13.2435678
then round to get 13.24
