What is the solution of the equation x + 24 = −17?(1 point)

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( x + 24 = -17 \), you need to isolate \( x \).

1. Subtract 24 from both sides of the equation:

\[ x + 24 - 24 = -17 - 24 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ x = -41 \]

So, the solution to the equation \( x + 24 = -17 \) is \( x = -41 \).
