Let's solve the equation step by step.
Starting with the equation:
\[ 0.24x - 0.74 = -1.1 \]
- Add 0.74 to both sides:
\[ 0.24x - 0.74 + 0.74 = -1.1 + 0.74 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 0.24x = -0.36 \]
- Divide both sides by 0.24:
\[ x = \frac{-0.36}{0.24} \]
Now calculate that division:
\[ x = -1.5 \]
So the final solution is:
\[ x = -1.5 \]
