__________________________________________________________
Multiply each side by −8, subtract 35 from each side.
___________________________________________________________
Explanation:
___________________________
Given: You have (-1/8)*(x + 35) = -7
________________________________________
Note that all the answer choices given start with: "Multiply each side by....";
</span>____________________
Given the choices, multiplying EACH SIDE of the equation by "(-8)" would make sense, since doing would cancel the "(-1/8)" on the "right-hand side" of the equation above to a "1" (i.e "cancel out" that ("-1/8") value); and would result in making the "right side" of the equation above ("-7") a positive integer number.
Then you would be left with: x + 35 = 56 ; so the next step would be to:
__________
Subtract: "(35)" from each side of the question [hence the answer choice] to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x".

Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 3
Hell naw, nobody is about to do that for you
The equation would be x+15=46. I came up with this equation because we are given the total number of people at the reunion this year and we know how many more people are here this year than last year. The unknown is the number of people last year. That is why x would represent the number of people at the reunion last year because that is the unknown. If we add 15 to the number of people last year, it will give us 46( the number of people at the reunion this year).
To find x, we just use opposite operation to get the answer. Opposite of addition is subtraction so, we subtract the number of more people and the reunion this year from the total number of people at the reunion to get the unknown number of people at the reunion last year. 46-15 is 31. Therefore we know that 31 people were at the reunion last year
