Equation

(1770 - x) + 18% of (1,770 - x) = 1,888

To Find :

The value of x.

Solution :

(1770 - x) + 18% of (1,770 - x) = 1,888

↪ 1770 - x + 18/100 × 1770 - x = 1888

↪ 1770 - x + 318.6 - x = 1888

↪ 2088.6 - 2x = 1888

↪ 2088.6 - 1888 = 2x

↪ 200.6 = 2x

↪ 200.6/2 = x

↪ x = 100.3

Therefore,

The value of x is 100.3.
