Answer 1

ANSWER

10

EXPLANATION

We want to find the value(s) of x that make the equation true.

To do that, we have to find the value of x from the equation. That is:

6.05x - 12.5 = 48

Collect like terms:

6.05x = 48 + 12.5

6.05x = 60.5

Divide through by 6.05:

x = 60.5 / 6.05

x = 10

That is the value of x that makes the equation true
