1020 - (53 - x) • 102 = 204
To solve for x, first distribute the 102 on the right side:
1020 - 53(102) + 102x = 204
Next, calculate 53 multiplied by 102:
1020 - 5406 + 102x = 204
Combine like terms:
-4386 + 102x = 204
Add 4386 to both sides:
102x = 4590
Divide by 102 on both sides to solve for x:
x = 45
