$3.7 x = 17.46 + 2.15$ $3.7x=17.46+2.15$
$3.7 x = 19.61$ $3.7x=19.61$
$x = \frac{19.61}{3.7}$ $x=19.61/3.7$

to divide multiply both by 100 to get the whole numbers

$\frac{19.61}{3.7} \cdot \frac{100}{100} = \frac{1961}{370}$ $19.61/3.7 *100/100 =1961/370$

.... $1961 : 370 = 5$ $1961:370=5$
$- 1850$ $-1850$
when we subtract this, the result is: $111$ $111$ .Since $111$ $111$ cannot be divided by $370$ $370$ , we add one more zero to $111$ $111$ so it is $1110$ $1110$ and place comma or point ( $,$ $,$ or $.$ $.$ ) immediately after $5$ $5$ so it is $5,$ $5,$ . Furthermore, we divide $1110$ $1110$ by $370$ $370$ :
.... $1110 : 370 = 3$ $1110:370=3$
$- 1110$ $-1110$

The result is: $5.3$ $5.3$ or $5, 3$ $5,3$
