The equation 0.2 4X -0.74 equals -1.1 is solved as follows and the correct numbers to complete the solution in the box. We have 0.2 4X equals blank add 0.74 to both sides. The next box says X equals blank divide both sides by 0.24. What is the answer?
To solve the equation 0.24X - 0.74 = -1.1, we will complete the steps as described:
Step 1: We have 0.24X equals blank (add 0.74 to both sides):
0.24X + 0.74 = blank
Step 2: The next box says X equals blank (divide both sides by 0.24):
X = blank / 0.24
Now, let's perform the calculations for each step:
Step 1: 0.24X + 0.74 = -1.1
Subtract 0.74 from both sides:
0.24X = -1.1 - 0.74
0.24X = -1.84
Step 2: X = (-1.84) / 0.24
Divide both sides by 0.24:
X ≈ -7.67
Therefore, the solution is X ≈ -7.67.
