7x+5=2x-35
First combine the like terms by subracting 2x from 7x. Then subtract 5 from -35. 7x-2x=-35-5
5x=-40
then divide 5 from -40
x=-8
Hi,
Start out with 7x+5=2x-35
then Subtract 5 from both sides
7x+5-5=2x-35-5
simplify
7x=2x-40
subtract 2x from both sides
7x-2x=2x-40-2x
simplify
5x=-40
divide both sides by 5
5x/5 = -40/5
simplify
x=-8
Have a great day and be sure to mark me brainliest if I helped! :)
