-22+(x/35)=-25
add 22 to both sides
x/35=-3
multiply both sides by 35 to cleaf raction
x=-105
number was -105

well, first off, we do a quick prime factoring of the leading term's coefficient, 35, and the constant, 16.
35 = 5*7
16 = 2*2*2*2
and the rest is just a mix and match.
what combination from the factors of 35 and the factors of 16, can provide a product whose sum is the middle term 26? well, without further adieu.
we can try 5*2*2 + 7*2*2, and that's 20 and 28, ok, 28 - 20 is 8, so that won't work.
another can be 5*2*7 and 2*2, that's 70 and 4, 70 - 4 is 56, that won't work either.
5*2*2*2 and 7*2, that's 40 and 14, hmmm 40 - 14 = 26!!! holly guacamole!
so then,

Its like that because the judges deduct points from that score. They can be major or minor deductions.
The answer is c because 1.5 times 1 = 1.5 then you add 2.5 to get 3.5
