4.9%283.7x%2B1.4%29=34.7x Start with the given equation.


4.9%283.7x%29%2B4.9%281.4%29=34.7x Distribute


18.13x%2B6.86=34.7x Multiply.


100%2818.13x%2B6.86%29=100%2834.7x%29 Multiply both sides by 100 to clear out the decimals.


1813x%2B686=3470x Distribute and multiply.


1813x=3470x-686 Subtract 686 from both sides.


1813x-3470x=-686 Subtract 3470x from both sides.


-1657x=-686 Combine like terms on the left side.


x=%28-686%29%2F%28-1657%29 Divide both sides by -1657 to isolate x.


x=686%2F1657 Reduce.

4.9((3.7x+1.4)=34.7x
Divide both sides by 4.9 to get:
3.7x + 1.4 = 7.082x
3.382x = 1.4
x = 0.4140
