To solve the equation \(-2.4x - 1.1 = 3.7\), let's complete the steps specified.
-
Start with the original equation: \[ -2.4x - 1.1 = 3.7 \]
-
Add \(1.1\) to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with \(x\): \[ -2.4x = 3.7 + 1.1 \]
Calculating the right side gives: \[ -2.4x = 4.8 \]
-
Now, divide both sides by \(-2.4\): \[ x = \frac{4.8}{-2.4} \]
Calculating this division gives: \[ x = -2 \]
So, the completed solution with the numbers filled in is:
\[ -2.4x - 1.1 = 3.7 \] \[ -2.4x = 4.8 \] \[ x = -2 \]
