Question 2(Multiple Choice Worth 5 points)
When solving negative one over eight (x + 35) = −7, what is the correct sequence of operations?

Multiply each side by negative one over eight , add 35 to each side
Multiply each side by negative one over eight , subtract 35 from each side
Multiply each side by −8, subtract 35 from each side
Multiply each side by −8, add 35 to each side
Question 3(Multiple Choice Worth 5 points)
Erica solved the equation −5x − 25 = 78; her work is shown below. Identify the error and where it was made.

−5x − 25 = 78
Step 1: −5x − 25 − 25 = 78 − 25
Step 2: −5x = 53
Step 3: negative five times x over negative five = fifty-three over negative five
Step 4: x = negative fifty-three over five

Step 1: She should have added 25 to each side.
Step 1: She should have divided both sides by −5.
Step 3: She should have divided both sides by −5.
Step 3: She should have multiplied both sides by −5.

X=2.6. Subtract 15 from both sides. You would get 5x = 13 then divide 5 from both sides to get x alone and you get 2.6
