First you had to multiply one-hundred from both sides of equation form.
[tex]2.5x*100-3.57*100=9.73*100[/tex]
Then refine.
[tex]250x-357=973[/tex]
Next add three-hundred-fifty-seven from both sides of equation form.
[tex]250x-357+357=973+357[/tex]
Then simplify.
[tex]250x=1330[/tex]
You can also divide by two-hundred-fifty from both sides of equation form.
[tex]\frac{250x}{250}= \frac{1330}{250}[/tex]
Finally simplify by equation.
[tex]x=\frac{133}{25}[/tex]
[tex]133/25=5.32[/tex]
Final answer [tex]\boxed{x=5.32}[/tex]
Hope this helps!
And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly, and have a great day.
