The equation 0.24x -0.74=-1.1 is solved as follows

Question

0.24x =___ add 0.74 to both sides
X = ___ divide both sides by 0.24

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(0.24x - 0.74 = -1.1\), we can follow the steps you provided.

1. Add 0.74 to both sides: \[ 0.24x = -1.1 + 0.74 \] Calculate the right side: \[ -1.1 + 0.74 = -0.36 \] So we have: \[ 0.24x = -0.36 \]

2. Divide both sides by 0.24: \[ x = \frac{-0.36}{0.24} \] Calculate this value: \[ x = -1.5 \]

Putting it all together:

1. \(0.24x = -0.36\)
2. \(x = -1.5\)

So the answers are:

• \(0.24x = -0.36\)
• \(x = -1.5\)
