Question

2. Solve for x in the equation 35 - X = 17.

A. x = 18
B.x = -52
C.x = 52
D.x=-18

Answer 1

A, x=18

Step-by-step explanation:

First you subtract 35 to get x (the variable alone)

-x=17-35

Next you simplify:

-x=-18

Finally, you multiply both sides by -1 to get rid of the negative by the x.

So, x=18.
