Answer:

0=0

Explanation:

Simplifying

-5(x + -7) = 35 + -5x

Reorder the terms:

-5(-7 + x) = 35 + -5x

(-7 * -5 + x * -5) = 35 + -5x

(35 + -5x) = 35 + -5x

Add '-35' to each side of the equation.

35 + -35 + -5x = 35 + -35 + -5x

Combine like terms: 35 + -35 = 0

0 + -5x = 35 + -35 + -5x

-5x = 35 + -35 + -5x

Combine like terms: 35 + -35 = 0

-5x = 0 + -5x

-5x = -5x

Add '5x' to each side of the equation.

-5x + 5x = -5x + 5x

Combine like terms: -5x + 5x = 0

0 = -5x + 5x

Combine like terms: -5x + 5x = 0

0 = 0

Solving

0 = 0

Couldn't find a variable to solve for.

This equation is an identity, all real numbers are solutions.
