Answer:

3.4

Explanation:

2.5(9.6+7)=100

distribute 2.5 to 9.6x and 7

24x + 17.5=100

then subtract 17.5 from both sides

24x = 82.5

then divide both sides by 24

x=3.4375

and i rounded it to the nearest tenth

hope this helps

Answer:

x = 3.4375

Explanation:

Write out the equation for area of a rectangle with the numbers.

(9.6x + 7) × 2.5 = 100

Distribute 2.5 through the parentheses

24x + 17.5 = 100

Move the constant to the right hand side and change its sign

24x = 100 - 17.5

Subtract the numbers

24x = 82.5

Divide both sides of the equation by 24 to get your answer

x = 3.4375

Hope this helped! And good luck!
