To solve for the value of x, you should add 3.41 to both sides of the equation.

To solve for the value of x in the equation x − 3.41 = −19, you should add 3.41 to both sides of the equation.

To solve the equation x - 3.41 = -19 and find the value of x, you need to perform the same operation on both sides of the equation in order to isolate the variable x. In this case, since the term being subtracted from x is -3.41, you should add 3.41 to both sides of the equation. This will eliminate the -3.41 on the left side of the equation, leaving you with x = -15.59. Therefore, the correct response is "add 3.41"
