How to solve 79.904 = 40.510 + .4931x?

`79.904 = 40.510 + .4931x`

Answer 1

`x = 79.89`

Explanation:

`79.904 = 40.510 + 0.4931x`

In this equation, we need to solve for `x`. We do this by putting `x` on one side of the equation and all the numbers on the other side.

To make `x` by itself, we must subtract `40.510` from both sides:
`39.394 = 0.4931x`

Now we need to divide both sides by `0.4931` to get the final answer:
`79.89 ~~ x` (the `~~` in this case means around because I rounded it to the hundreth's decimal place)

So...
`x = 79.89`
