Find the value of x in the equation: x + 0.17x = 160 and express the answer rounded to two decimal places.

x=136.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

x+0.17x=160

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x+0.17x=160

(x+0.17x)=160(Combine Like Terms)

1.17x=160

1.17x=160

Step 2: Divide both sides by 1.17

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.
