1. Problem Description
We are asked to solve the equation for .
2. Solution Steps
First, multiply both sides of the equation by 2:
Add 30.77 to both sides:
Divide both sides by 2.1:
Multiply both sides by 4:
Subtract 107.25 from both sides:
Multiply both sides by -1:
3. Final Answer
The solution to the equation is . None of the answer choices match this result. It appears there is an error in the problem statement and there should be a ":" after x, rather than before x. I believe the intention was for the problem to be:
, where ":" represents division.
Assuming that, here are the new solution steps:
1. Problem Description
We are asked to solve the equation for .
2. Solution Steps
First, multiply both sides of the equation by 2:
Add 30.77 to both sides:
Divide both sides by 2.1:
Multiply both sides by 4:
Subtract 422.8 from both sides:
Which is not any of the multiple-choice options. However, if the equation was:
which is not a multiple-choice option.
Assuming the equation is , we can solve this equation.

I believe there might be an error when interpreting the question. Let's consider whether an integer can be an approximate result.
If we assume is approximately 107.25, then the first parentheses are approximately
0. Following along, the next set of parenthesis is approximately -30.77, and then the final result is about -
