Answer 1

To solve the equation \( x - 3.41 = -19 \) for \( x \), you want to isolate \( x \) on one side of the equation.

You can do this by adding \( 3.41 \) to both sides of the equation.

So the correct operation to perform on both sides is:

add 3.41

This would look like:

\[ x - 3.41 + 3.41 = -19 + 3.41 \]

Which simplifies to:

\[ x = -15.59 \]
