is solved as follows. Enter the correct numbers to complete the solution.(1 point)
−2.4x−1.1=3.7

−2.4x=

Add 1.1 to both sides of the equation. If the answer is a decimal value, enter the decimal.

x=

Divide both sides of the equation by -2.4. If the answer is a decimal value, enter the decimal.

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-2.4x - 1.1 = 3.7\):

1. **Add 1.1 to both sides**:
\[
-2.4x - 1.1 + 1.1 = 3.7 + 1.1
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
-2.4x = 4.8
\]

2. **Then, divide both sides by -2.4**:
\[
x = \frac{4.8}{-2.4}
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
x = -2
\]

So, the completed solution is:

\[
−2.4x = 4.8
\]

\[
x = -2
\]
