The answer is 35 because in these types of problems what you first want to do is get x alone or isolate x. Here we can do this by first subtracting -3 on both sides. This would get rid of 3 on the left side and on the right side it would make it = 7. Now, your problem should look like this: x/5=7. Here our only option to get x alone would be to multiply 5 on both sides. This would give you 35.
