Question

How do you solve 0.37(28+62.7k)=56.758?

Answer 1

`0.37(28+62.7k)=56.758`
`color(white)("XXXX")` `color(white)("XXXX")` `rArr k = 2`

Explanation:

`0.37(28+62.7k)=56.758`

Distribute the multiplication on the left side:
`color(white)("XXXX")` `(0.37)(28)+(0.37)(62.7k) = 56.758`

Subtract `(0.37)*(28)` from both sides:
`color(white)("XXXX")` `(0.37)(62.7)k = 56.758 - (0.37)(28)`

Divide both sides by `(0.37)*(62.7)`
`color(white)("XXXX")` `k = (56.758 - (0.37)(28))/((0.37)(62.7))`
