The expression 65.5x + 150 represents the cost of manufacturing x calculators.
Equation:
65.5x + 150 = 6176
I assume you want to find x, the number of calc manufactured
65.5x + 150 = 6176
subtract 150 from both sides
65.5x = 6176 - 150
65.5x = 6026
divide both sides by 65.5
x = 6026/65.5
x = 92 calculators
