To solve the equation 0.24x - 0.74 = -1.1, we can start by adding 0.74 to both sides of the equation. By doing this, we eliminate the term "-0.74" on the left side.

0.24x - 0.74 + 0.74 = -1.1 + 0.74

Simplifying both sides of the equation, we get:

0.24x = -0.36

Next, to isolate the variable x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 0.24.

0.24x/0.24 = -0.36/0.24

Simplifying further:

x = -1.5

Therefore, the solution to the equation 0.24x - 0.74 = -1.1 is x = -1.5.
