Answer: x = 4

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this equation, we start by distributing the 5 through the parentheses on the left side.

So we have 5(2x) which is 10x and 5(-1) which is -5.

So our equation now reads 10x - 5 = 35.

Solving from here, we add 5 to both sides of the equation and we

have 10x = 40 and dividing both sides by 10, we find that x = 4.
