• A. 7080.1
• B. 70801
• C. 3505.4
• D. 35054

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 35054

The value of $x$ in the equation is 35,054.

Given equation:

$682.84 - 107.48 = \frac{x}{50} - 125.72$

Step 1: Simplify the left side of the equation

$682.84 - 107.48 = 575.36$

Now the equation looks like this:

$575.36 = \frac{x}{50} - 125.72$

Step 2: Isolate the fraction by adding $125.72$ to both sides

$575.36 + 125.72 = \frac{x}{50}$

$$701.08 = \frac{x}{50}$

Step 3: Multiply both sides by $50$ to find $x$

$x = 701.08 \times 50$

$x = \mathbf{35,054}$
