To solve the equation \( 0.24x - 0.74 = -1.1 \), we can follow these steps:
-
Add 0.74 to both sides to isolate the term with \( x \): \[ 0.24x - 0.74 + 0.74 = -1.1 + 0.74 \] This simplifies to: \[ 0.24x = -0.36 \]
-
Now divide both sides by 0.24 to solve for \( x \): \[ x = \frac{-0.36}{0.24} \]
-
Calculate the right side: \[ x = -1.5 \]
Thus, the solution to the equation \( 0.24x - 0.74 = -1.1 \) is \( x = -1.5 \).
