Question

7(x−8)=−35 what is x

Answer 1

Start by simplifying the equation.
You can do so by distributing 7.

7x - 56 = -35.

Next, cancel the -56 by adding 56 to *both* sides.

7x = 21.

Lastly, to get x on its own, divide both sides by 7.

7x / 7 = x

21 / 7 = 3


Therefore, x = 3.

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -13

Step-by-step explanation:

-13 - 8 = -5

7× (-5)= -35
