The equation 0.24x - -1.1 is solved as follows

Question

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

Answer 1

Let's go through the steps to solve the equation \(0.24x - -1.1\) correctly.

Step 1: Rewrite the Equation

First, we need to correct the equation: \[ 0.24x - (-1.1) \text{ is the same as } 0.24x + 1.1 \] So, we rewrite the equation: \[ 0.24x + 1.1 = 0 \]

Step 2: Isolate \(0.24x\)

Next, we need to isolate \(0.24x\): \[ 0.24x = -1.1 \quad (\text{subtract 1.1 from both sides}) \]

Step 3: Solve for \(x\)

Now, we need to divide both sides by \(0.24\): \[ x = \frac{-1.1}{0.24} \]

Now, let's calculate \(\frac{-1.1}{0.24}\): \[ x \approx -4.5833 \]

Summary

So, filling in the blanks:

• \(0.24x = -1.1\)
• \(x \approx -4.5833\)

The complete steps are:

1. \(0.24x + 1.1 = 0\)
2. \(0.24x = -1.1\)
3. \(x \approx -4.5833\) after dividing by \(0.24\).
