Question

Solve for x(.07)+x=14.70

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=13\dfrac{79}{107}\approx13.74}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x(0.07)+x=14.70\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\(0.07+1)x=14.70\\\\1.07x=14.70\qquad\text{divide both sides by 1.07}\\\\x=\dfrac{14.70}{1.07}\\\\x=\dfrac{14.70\cdot100}{1.07\cdot100}\\\\x=\dfrac{1470}{107}\\\\x=13\dfrac{79}{107}\approx13.74$
