Question

0.24x-0.74= -1.1
what is 0.24x=
and what is x

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(0.24x - 0.74 = -1.1\), we first isolate \(0.24x\):

1. Add \(0.74\) to both sides of the equation:
\[
0.24x = -1.1 + 0.74
\]
\[
0.24x = -0.36
\]

Now we have \(0.24x = -0.36\).

Next, to find \(x\), we divide both sides by \(0.24\):
\[
x = \frac{-0.36}{0.24}
\]

Calculating this gives:
\[
x = -1.5
\]

So, the values are:
- \(0.24x = -0.36\)
- \(x = -1.5\)
