Answer:

x=0.173

Explanation:

First thing I would do is add 1.026 to both sides. This would get you a equation that looked like, 6.74 x=1.164. Then just divide 1.164 and 6.74 by 6.74. This would get you x=0.1727003. Then because you have to round to the nearest thousand you have to round the 2 up because 7 is more then 5. Keep the first two number the same. The final answer is x=0.173.
