To solve the equation $-2.4x - 1.1 = 3.7$, we can follow the steps given. 1. Start with the equation: $$ -2.4x - 1.1 = 3.7 $$ 2. Add $1.1$ to both sides: $$ -2.4x = 3.7 + 1.1 $$ $$ -2.4x = 4.8 $$ 3. Now, divide both sides by $-2.4$: $$ x = \frac{4.8}{-2.4} $$ $$ x = -2 $$ So, the completed solution is: $-2.4x = 4.8$ (after adding $1.1$ to both sides) and $x = -2$ (after dividing by $-2.4$).
