To solve the equation, we will first simplify it by distributing the 9680 to the terms inside the parentheses.
9680(x + 219) = 16
Simplifying further:
9680x + 9680(219) = 16
Next, we need to isolate the variable, x. To do this, we will subtract 9680(219) from both sides of the equation.
9680x = 16 - 9680(219)
Performing the calculation on the right side:
9680x = 16 - 2117520
Now, we will combine like terms on the right side:
9680x = -2117504
Finally, to solve for x, we will divide both sides of the equation by 9680:
x = (-2117504) / 9680
Performing the division:
x ≈ -218.75
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x ≈ -218.75.
