Hi,

I forgot the basic rules of how to solve this equation.
I know that x = 26

How would we solve this?

25.1 = 2250 + x * 10

1. I assume that you want to solve for x:



2. Multiply both sides by 100 to get rid of the denominator. You should get:



Solve for x.

Thank you earboth,

Ofcourse you are right

Then:

2510 - 2250 = 10x
x = 260 /10
x = 26
