Follow these steps:

Distribute the - into the parenthesis.

-x - 4 = 2x + 35

Isolate x by adding it on both sides

- 4 = 3x + 35

Subtract 35 on both sides

-39 = 3x

Divide by 3 on both sides to get

-13 = x

Hope this helps!

isolate x and combine like terms on different sides of the equation to get x = -13
