Answer 1

subtract 3.6 from both sides

Answer 2

Answer:

Add -3.6 to both sides

Subtract 3.6 to both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the equation x + 3.6 = -1.7 and we have to solve it for x in one step

In order to solve for x we have to eliminate 3.6 from the left hand side. 3.6 is in addition with x hence to eliminate it we can do the opposite operation of addition which is subtraction.

Hence, we have to subtract 3.6 to both sides or we can add -3.6 to both sides.

x+3.6-3.6=-1.7-3.6

x= -5.3

Correct options are:

Add -3.6 to both sides

Subtract 3.6 to both sides
