const = const * x + const * (1-x)

Hey, sorry if this question is dumb but I've tried and have no idea how to find x. I'm probably going to need to solve equations like this on the chem exam. Thanks for the help.
50.942 = 49.9472 * x + 50.944 * (1-x)

First simplify by performing multiplication.

50.942 = 49.9472 * x + 50.944 * (1-x)

50.942 = 49.9472 * x + 50.944 - 50.944 * x

Now continue....

Absolutely not ... you showed your intelligence by asking for help.

Any appearance of being stupid disappears after you learn something. When you explain it to someone else, they'll see you as smart.

Ahh... but she really knows you.......
