x = -1.5/0.24
x ≈ -6.25
0.24x=
Add 0.74 to both sides.
x= -1.5
Divide both sides by 0.24.
x ≈ -6.25
1. Add 0.74 to both sides of the equation:
0.24x - 0.74 + 0.74 = -1.1 + 0.74
This simplifies to:
0.24x = -0.36
2. Now, to isolate the variable x, divide both sides of the equation by 0.24:
(0.24x) / 0.24 = (-0.36) / 0.24
Simplifying further gives:
x = -1.5
So, the solution to the equation is x = -1.5.
Here are the steps to do that:
1. Add 0.74 to both sides of the equation:
0.24x - 0.74 + 0.74 = -1.1 + 0.74
Simplifying the left side, we get:
0.24x = -1.1 + 0.74
2. Simplify the right side by performing the addition:
0.24x = -0.36
3. Now, to solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.24:
(0.24x) / 0.24 = -0.36 / 0.24
Simplifying further, we have:
x = -1.5
Therefore, the solution to the equation 0.24x - 0.74 = -1.1 is x = -1.5.
