what should be done to both sides of the equation x-3.41=-19

1 answer

To solve the equation \( x - 3.41 = -19 \), you'll want to isolate \( x \) by eliminating the term on the left side. You can do this by adding \( 3.41 \) to both sides of the equation.

Here’s the step-by-step process:

  1. Start with the equation: \[ x - 3.41 = -19 \]

  2. Add \( 3.41 \) to both sides: \[ x - 3.41 + 3.41 = -19 + 3.41 \]

  3. Simplify both sides: \[ x = -19 + 3.41 \] \[ x = -15.59 \]

So, the final solution is: \[ x = -15.59 \]
