Question

5.69(507+203)=(69x507)+203x?

Answer 1

$-152.429064 = x$ Is the answer

So we begin by distributing the 5.69 throughout the parenthesis and doing the multiplication within the parenthesis as well

This will simplify to $(2884.83 + 1155.07) = 34983 + 203x$

Next, we will combine the terms within the parenthesis which gives

$4039.9 = 34983 + 203x$

Next we will begin to isolate the x. To do this, we must bring the 34983 to the other side of the equation. To do this, we will use subtraction. This will give us $-30943.1 = 203x$

Next, we will divide each side by 203 to isolate the x. This gives us $-152.429064 = x$ Which is the final answer.
