the equation .24x - .74= -1.1 solved as follows. supply the correct numbers to complete the solution .24x = __ add .74 to both sides x= __ divide both sides by .24

1 answer

To solve the equation .24x - .74 = -1.1, we will need to rearrange the equation and perform the necessary steps to isolate x.

First, we need to add .74 to both sides of the equation:
.24x - .74 + .74 = -1.1 + .74

Simplifying this, we get:
.24x = -0.36

Now, we need to divide both sides of the equation by .24 to solve for x:
.24x / .24 = -0.36 / .24

Simplifying this, we find:
x = -1.5

Therefore, the solution to the equation .24x - .74 = -1.1 is x = -1.5.
