0.24x = -1.1 + 0.74
Apologies for the wrong response earlier. You are correct.
To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable x on one side, so we can add 0.74 to both sides of the equation:

0.24x - 0.74 + 0.74 = -1.1 + 0.74

Simplifying, -0.74 + 0.74 cancels out:
0.24x = -1.1 + 0.74

Combining like terms on the right side:
0.24x = -0.36

So, 0.24x is equal to -0.36.

-3x - 9 = -21

-3x = ___ add 9 to both sides
To solve the equation -3x - 9 = -21, the first step is to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.

To do that, we need to get rid of the -9 term. To eliminate it, we perform the opposite operation, which is adding 9 to both sides of the equation, like this:

-3x - 9 + 9 = -21 + 9

Simplifying the left side, -9 + 9 cancels out, leaving:

-3x = -21 + 9

Simplifying the right side, -21 + 9 equals -12:

-3x = -12

Therefore, we find that -3x is equal to -12.
