Explanation

0.26 * x = 0.17 * 1200 + 173. 0.26 * x = 204 + 173 = 377. x = 377 / 0.26 = 1450.

AI explanation

Approximate the decimals to their nearest integers to get 26% of ? = 17% of 1200 + 173. Calculate 17% of 1200 as 204, and adding 173 gives 377. Therefore, 26% of ? is 377, so ? = (377 x 100) / 26, which results in 1450.
