I know what the value for "x" is in the following equation but I can't remember the steps for solving (which I'm sure are embarrassingly simple):
12,847,080 = 1418 * 4 * [x + (x * .0461894)]
Any help is appreciated...thank you!

I would first divide through byto get:
Now divide through by 1.0461894 to get:
I suspect you have changed the original equation and used a decimal approximation for a fraction. Did you replace 20/433 with 0.0461894?
12,847,080 = 1418 * 4 * [x + (x * .0461894)]
divide both side by 1418*4 , you end up with
2 265=[x + (x * .0461894)]
calculate X+(X*0.46...)=1.46...
you end up with
2 265=x*1.46...
Divide both side by 1.046..
you end up with x=2369 ish!
and keep in mind that there are no simple problem.
Yes, I changed the fraction to a decimal. I could feel the solution teasing the edge of my brain but couldn't grab it. Thank you!!
