Solve for x
55.6 (x-23) = [22.7 (x-80.1)]
:
Multiply what's inside the brackets
55.6x - 1278.8 = 22.7x - 1818.27
Combine like terms
55.6x - 22.7x = -1818.27 + 1278.8
32.9x = -539.47
x = %28-539.47%29%2F32.9
x = -16.39726444

:
I'll let you confirm this by substituting for x, use -16.397 to check for equality
