To solve the equation, we first distribute the multiplication on the left side:
[tex] - 15 \frac{1}{13} \times 1.9x - 15 \frac{1}{13} \times 5.7 = 0 [/tex]
Simplify:
[tex] - \frac{15}{13} \times 1.9x - \frac{15}{13} \times 5.7 = 0 [/tex]
Now calculate the products:
[tex] - \frac{28.5}{13}x - \frac{85.5}{13} = 0 [/tex]
Next, bring the constant term to the right side:
[tex] - \frac{28.5}{13}x = \frac{85.5}{13} [/tex]
Finally, divide by the coefficient of x to solve for x:
[tex] x = \frac{85.5/13}{28.5/13} = \frac{85.5}{28.5} = 3 [/tex]
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 3.
