Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x + 35 = 40
Subract 35 from both sides -5x + 35 - 35 = 40 - 35 = (-5x = 5)
Divide -5 from both sides -5x / -5 = 5 / -5 =
x = -1
x= -1
First subtract 35 from both sides to get -5x by itself:
-5x+35=40
-35 -35
-5x=5
Then divide by -5:
[tex]\frac{-5x}{-5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{-5}[/tex]
x=-1
Hope this helps! :)
