Answer:

x = -3

Explanation:

Yes this is a equation.

∴ Given:

1(5x + 35) = 20

→ Solve:

Multiply 1 to ( 5x + 35 ) = 20 - {1 times anything the answer is the same}

(5x + 35 ) = 20 { Remove parentheses }

5x + 35 = 20

Subtract 35 from both sides:

5x + 35 - 35 = 20 - 35

5x = -15

Now, divide both sides by 5

5x/5 = -15 /5

x = -3

Hence, x = -3
