To solve the equation $$ x - 7.6 = -5.2 $$ using the **addition property** of equality, follow these steps:

1. **Add 7.6 to both sides** of the equation to isolate $$ x $$:
   $$
   x - 7.6 + 7.6 = -5.2 + 7.6
   $$
   
2. **Simplify** both sides:
   $$
   x = 2.4
   $$

3. **Check** the solution by substituting $$ x = 2.4 $$ back into the original equation:
   $$
   2.4 - 7.6 = -5.2
   $$
   $$
   -5.2 = -5.2 \quad \text{✓}
   $$

So, the solution is:

$$
x = 2.4
$$

**Answer:**  
$$ x = 2.4 $$
$$ x = 2.4 $$
