Question 970911
The left side, after being multiplied by minus 1, is

-(1419) (x-250) becomes  -1419 x + 354750= 16736 x  - 379907.2  (see below for the right side of the equation).

The right side was 16736 (x-22.7)

Add 1419 x to both sides
Add 379907.2 to both sides

18155x  =   734657.2
divide by 18155

x=40.4658

Check
-1 * {3000*0.473*(-209.5342)= +297329.03

4000*4.184*17.7658=297328.43

If this is performed with two decimal places, there is about a 400 difference between the two.
