Answer: 13/7 or as a decimal 1.857142857

How did i get the answer:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

so 1/2 of 10 is 5, 1/2 of 16 is 8

-3/5 of 15 is -9 and -3/5 of -35 is POSITIVE 21

all together should look like 5x+8+−13=−9x+21

(now we have to combine like terms)

8+ -13= -5

5x -5 = -9x+21

Step 2: Add 9x to both sides

5x + 9x= 14x

14x -5 = 21

Step 3: Add 5 to both sides.

21+5= 26

14x=26

Step 4: Divide both sides by 14.

26/14= 1.85714286 or 13/7
