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. This will isolate the variable x on one side 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 for the value of x in the equation x - 3.41 = -19, you should perform the same operation on both sides of the equation in order to maintain equality. In this case, the equation can be solved by adding 3.41 to both sides. By adding 3.41 to both sides of the equation, you will obtain:
(x - 3.41) + 3.41 = -19 + 3.41
The -3.41 and +3.41 on the left side of the equation will cancel each other out, leaving only x:
x = -19 + 3.41
Now, to simplify the right side of the equation, you can add -19 and 3.41 together:
x = -15.59
Therefore, the value of x in the given equation is -15.59. Hence, the correct response is to add 3.41 to both sides.
