Here’s how you would set up this question as an equation:
The goal of the problem is to solve for x. To do this we need to change the equation so that x is alone on one side of the equation.In this case, it can be done in two steps. The first step is to multiply both sides by x to isolate 37:
Then we can isolate x on the right side of the equation by dividing both sides by 26:
When we simplify the new equation, we can solve for x. In this example, we will round to the nearest three decimal places if that’s needed.
