Answer:

-5

Explanation:

From your knowledge of multiplication tables, you know that ...

-35 = -(7×5) = 7×(-5)

Then comparing to the given equation, you realize ...

t = -5

_____

Or, you can recognize 7 as the coefficient of t and divide both sides of the equation by that:

-35/7 = (7t)/7

-5 = t
