4.24=9.95(1-x) =1.917x?

Answer 1

Sorry, but this doesn't make much sense.

If 4.24 = 9.95 (1-x) then 1-x = 4.24 / 9.95 and x is approximately 0.574.

If 4.24 = 1.917x then x is approximately 2.212.

If 9.95(1-x) = 1.917x then 9.95 = (9.95 + 1.917)x and x is approximately 0.838.

These three equations are clearly inconsistent, so the three values indicated cannot all be equal. Please check the equation.
