Question

What is 0.24x − 1.85 3.09 − 2.33x  = 1.71

Answer 1

Was the variable "y" supposed to be part of this equation?  If so, perhaps you meant to share the following:

   0.24x − 1.85y = 3.09
− 2.33x  = 1.71y

Plese, go back and reread the original question, and then ensure you have shared that question here precisely as it was presented.
