Question

-7(5-3x)=-35 what is the x in the problem

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

-7(5-3x)=-35

Divide by -7

-7/-7(5-3x)=-35/-7

5 -3x = 5

Subtract 5 from each side

5-3x-5 = 5-5

-3x=0

Divide by -3

x=0

Answer 2

Answer: x = 0

Step-by-step explanation: Start by distributing the -7 through the parenthses on the left side of the equation.

-7(5) is -35 and -7(-3x) is 21x.

So we have -35 + 21x = -35.

Next, isolate the x term by adding 35 to both sides.

When we do this, we get 21x = 0.

Now divide both sides by 21 and x = 0.
