Question

The equation 0.24x−0.74=−1.1 is solved as follows. Fill in the correct numbers to complete the solution.(t)
0.24x−0.74=−1.1
0.24x=
Add 0.74 to both sides.
x=
Divide both sides by 0.24.

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 0.24x - 0.74 = -1.1 \), let's go through the steps you provided and fill in the missing values:

1. Start with the original equation:
\[
0.24x - 0.74 = -1.1
\]

2. Add \( 0.74 \) to both sides:
\[
0.24x = -1.1 + 0.74
\]
Calculate the right side:
\[
-1.1 + 0.74 = -0.36
\]
So, we have:
\[
0.24x = -0.36
\]

3. Now, divide both sides by \( 0.24 \):
\[
x = \frac{-0.36}{0.24}
\]
Calculate the right side:
\[
x = -1.5
\]

Putting it all together, the solution is:

\[
0.24x - 0.74 = -1.1
\]
\[
0.24x = -0.36
\]
\[
x = -1.5
\]
