Answer: \(26.9230769231\)

 

Solution:

Sorry for the late response. It is somewhere between 26 and 27, because \(\sqrt700\) is somewhere between 26 and 27. Which means the floor of x is 26. So 26x=700. This turns into x = 700/26. Doing the division gives \(26.9230769231\).

Hi Why,

In case you did not realize, you are allowed/encouraged to give yourself a point for a good answer.
