To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
Starting with the given equation:
48:x + 78 =
To isolate x, we need to move the 78 to the other side of the equation. Subtracting 78 from both sides:
48:x = -78
Now, to solve for x, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 48:
x = -78/48
Simplify the expression:
x = -1.625
Therefore, x is equal to -1.625.
