Question

Which of the following should be done to both sides of the equation x − 3.41 = −19 to solve the value of x ?(1 point) Responses add 19 add 19 subtract 3.41 subtract 3.41 add 3.41 add 3.41 subtract 19

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( x - 3.41 = -19 \) for \( x \), you should isolate \( x \) by adding 3.41 to both sides of the equation.

So, the correct operation to perform is:

**Add 3.41** to both sides.

The equation would then look like this:

\[ x - 3.41 + 3.41 = -19 + 3.41 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ x = -19 + 3.41 \]

Which would allow you to find the value of \( x \).
