In Middle School math, it means to find out what number ' x ' must be in order for the equation to be a true statement. In middle school, it can only be one number.
Step-by-step explanation: Solving an equation means finding the value of the variable that makes the equation true.
Let's look at an example.
Solve the following equation.
3x + 1 = 7
To solve the equation, we need to get <em>x</em> by itself on one side and we do that by subtracting 1 from both sides to get 3x = 6. Now just divide both sides of the equation by 2 and we find that <em>x = +2</em>.
23.8% of 164 is 39.032 so minus that off of 164 and you would've sold 124.968 cars and im guessing you should round so the dealership would've sold 125 cars.
