$19.32 = x$ $19.32=x$

Set up an equation like this:

$8.4 (1.5 + 2.3) = 12.6 + x$ $8.4(1.5+2.3)=12.6+x$

where $x$ $x$ is the missing number:

Solve for $x$ $x$ :

$8.4 (3.8) = 12.6 + x$ $8.4(3.8)=12.6+x$

$31.92 = 12.6 + x$ $31.92=12.6+x$

$31.92-12.6=cancel(12.6-12.6)+x$

$19.32=x$

We can verify this by substituting this value for $x$ in the original equation and see if everything checks out.

$8.4(1.5+2.3)=12.6+19.32$

You should end up with the same quantity on both sides:

$31.92=31.92$
