Answer:

-7

Explanation:

First, we know that we are solving for x so what we need to do is to find out what times -5=35.

We know that

-5x7=-35

So we know our answer cant be positive 7, which means we need the opposite of 7 which is -7.

And:

-5x-7=35

This makes the equation true:

Hence, the correct answer is -7
