Answer:

x= -13/10

Explanation:

First, distribute the -6.

-3x-6(2x+8)=-5x-35

-3x-12x-48=-5x-35

Combine Like Terms.

-15x-48=-5x-35

Add 48 to both sides to have 1 variable by itself.

-15x=-5x+13

Add 5x to both sides of the equation.

-10x=13

Divide by 10 on both sides to simplify.

Therefore, giving you -13/10 or -1.3 as a decimal.
