0.24x-0.74= -1.1

Question

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:

• \(0.24x = -0.36\)
• \(x = -1.5\)
