What is the value of x?
-5x=-35
x=
well, -5/-5 = 1, so ...
its -1
no, (-5)/(-5) = 1
so, divide both sides by -5 and you have
x = -35/-5 = 7
check:
-5*7 = -35
Don't forget your basic arithmetic now that you're doing algebra.
To find the value of x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. In this case, we have the equation -5x = -35.
To isolate x, we can divide both sides of the equation by -5:
-5x / -5 = -35 / -5
This simplifies to:
x = 7
Therefore, the value of x is 7.
