Answer:
x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
3.3(x + 1.2) = 40.26
Distribute the 3.3 across the parentheses.
3.3x + 3.96 = 40.26
Combine the constants by subtracting 3.96 from both sides
3.3x = 36.3
Isolate the variable by dividing both sides by 3.3
x = 11
Check your work by plugging x = 11 into the original equation.
3.3(11 + 1.2) = 40.26
3.3(12.2) = 40.26
40.26 = 40.26
Your answer is correct.
Hope this helps!
