Answer 1

To solve the equation \( x + 24 = -17 \), we need to isolate \( x \). We can do this by subtracting 24 from both sides of the equation:

\[
x + 24 - 24 = -17 - 24
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
x = -41
\]

So, the solution to the equation is \( x = -41 \).

The correct response is: **negative 41**.
