Answer
$3$
Work Step by Step
Multiply 100 to both sides of the equation to obtain:
$100(0.01x+3.1)=100(2.03x-2.96)$
Distribute $100$ to obtain:
$100(0.01x)+100(3.1) = 100(2.03x)-100(2.96)
\\x+310=203x-296$
Subtract $x$ and add $296$ to both sides of the equation, then combine like terms to obtain:
$x+310-x+296=203x-296-x+296
\\606=202x$
Divide $202$ to both sides of the equation to obtain:
$\dfrac{606}{202} = \dfrac{202x}{202}
\\3=x$
Thus, the solution tot he given equation is $3$.
