Question

1.06(12.95+x)=31.27 solve for x

Answer 1

the answer is

x=16.55

Answer 2

x = 16.55

Explanation:

1.06(12.95 + x) = 31.27

Multiply the terms in the bracket

That's

13.727 + 1.06x = 31.27

Subtract 13.727 from both sides

That's

13.727 - 13.727 + 1.06x = 31.27 - 13.727

1.06x = 17.543

Divide both sides by 1.06

That's

`(1.06x)/(1.06) = (17.543)/(1.06) \\ x = (17.543)/(1.06)`

We have the final answer as

x = 16.55
