Answer 1

x= no solution

Explanation:

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

-5x-35=-5x+35

+5x +5x

-35= 35

+35 +35

0=70

x=no solution

When x doesn't equal anything, and 0 doesn't equal 0, there is no solution to make the equation true. When 0=0, x can equal any value.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−5(x+7)=−5x+35

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−5(x+7)=−5x+35

(−5)(x)+(−5)(7)=−5x+35(Distribute)

−5x+−35=−5x+35

−5x−35=−5x+35

Step 2: Add 5x to both sides.

−5x−35+5x=−5x+35+5x

−35=35

Step 3: Add 35 to both sides.

−35+35=35+35

0=70

Answer:

There are no solutions.
