Answer:

x=81

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

8.2(6x−3)=7(7x−1.2)

(8.2)(6x)+(8.2)(−3)=(7)(7x)+(7)(−1.2)(Distribute)

49.2x+−24.6=49x+−8.4

49.2x−24.6=49x−8.4

Step 2: Subtract 49x from both sides.

49.2x−24.6−49x=49x−8.4−49x

0.2x−24.6=−8.4

Step 3: Add 24.6 to both sides.

0.2x−24.6+24.6=−8.4+24.6

0.2x=16.2

Step 4: Divide both sides by 0.2.

0.2x0.2=16.20.2
