How can you represet a loss of 24 dolllars as a integer?

Like -24, i'm pretty sure that all you have to do is put a subtraction sign in front of it because it is a loss

1. use commutative property to reorder the terms.2x+81=0.2. move the constant to right side by adding its opposite on both sides. 2x+81-81=0-81.2x=(-81).3. divide the equation on both sides.2x ÷ 2 = 81 ÷ 2.x = -81/2. your answer is -81/2. if you need to simplify it into a decimal, it’s -40.5.
