To solve the equation 0.24x - 0.74 = -1.1, you need to isolate the variable x.

Step 1: Add 0.74 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the constant term on the left side:
0.24x - 0.74 + 0.74 = -1.1 + 0.74
0.24x = -0.36

Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by 0.24 to solve for x:
(0.24x)/0.24 = -0.36/0.24
x = -1.5

So, the solution is x = -1.5.
