Question

31.7+42.8+26.4+x/4=39.1 100.9+x/4

Answer 1

Explanation:

To solve this, we have to first find the sum of each of the terms on the numerator of the fraction on the right:

31.7 + 42.8 + 26.4 + x = 100.9 + x

The sum of terms ind the numerator of the fraction on the right.

39.1 + 100.9 + x= 140 + x

Next step is to cancel out the denominators as they are equal.

Now we are left with

100.9+x = 140+x

Rearrange and solve

To get x = 156.4

Answer 2

31.7 + 42.8 + 26.4 + x/4 = 39.1

Add up all the plain numbers on the left side:

100.9 + x/4 = 39.1

Subtract 100.9 from each side:

x/4 = 39.1

Multiply each side by 4:

x = 156.4
