Answer:
[tex]x=2\frac{1}{12}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The first step is to get 14.8 on the other side. It is a positive number which means that you have to subtract 14.8 on both sides:
[tex]32.3=14.8+8.4x[/tex]
-14.8 -14.8
[tex]17.5 = 8.4x[/tex]
2. The second step is to get x by itself. Right now it is being multiplied by x so to get it by itself you have to do the opposite of multiplication which is division, so you will divide 8.4 by both sides:
[tex]\frac{17.5}{8.4} = \frac{8.4x}{8.4}[/tex]
[tex]x=2\frac{1}{12}[/tex]
