To solve the equation \(-2.4x - 1.1 = 3.7\), follow these steps:
1. **Add 1.1 to both sides** to isolate the term with \(x\):
\[
-2.4x - 1.1 + 1.1 = 3.7 + 1.1
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
-2.4x = 4.8
\]
2. **Divide both sides by -2.4** to solve for \(x\):
\[
x = \frac{4.8}{-2.4}
\]
Simplifying this gives:
\[
x = -2
\]
So, the solution for \(x\) is \(-2\).
1. **Add 1.1 to both sides** to isolate the term with \(x\):
\[
-2.4x - 1.1 + 1.1 = 3.7 + 1.1
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
-2.4x = 4.8
\]
2. **Divide both sides by -2.4** to solve for \(x\):
\[
x = \frac{4.8}{-2.4}
\]
Simplifying this gives:
\[
x = -2
\]
So, the solution for \(x\) is \(-2\).
