To solve this question, we need to get x by itself. We can do that by subtracting 3.6 from each side. But, adding a negative is the same thing as subtracting a positive number. That means that you could also add -3.6 to both sides.

For this case we have the following equation:

x + 3.6 = -1.7

The first step in solving the equation is to subtract 3.6 on both sides of the equation.

We have then:

x + 3.6-3.6 = -1.7-3.6

Then, we rewrite the left side of the equation:

x = -1.7-3.6

Finally we do the algebraic sum on the right side of the equation:

x = -5.3

Answer:

subtract 3.6 from both sides
