Question

-5x+35=40

what are the steps?​

Answer 1

x= -1

Explanation:

First subtract 35 from both sides to get -5x by itself:

-5x+35=40

-35 -35

-5x=5

Then divide by -5:

`(-5x)/(-5)` =
`(5)/(-5)`

x=-1

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

Explanation:

-5x + 35 = 40

Subract 35 from both sides -5x + 35 - 35 = 40 - 35 = (-5x = 5)

Divide -5 from both sides -5x / -5 = 5 / -5 =

x = -1
