Answer 1

To solve the equation \( x - 3.41 = -19 \) for \( x \), you need to isolate \( x \) by getting rid of the \(-3.41\).

To do this, you should add 3.41 to both sides of the equation. This will give you:

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

Which simplifies to:

\[ x = -19 + 3.41 \]

So the correct response is:

add 3.41.
