Select one:
a. Multiply each side by -1/8 , add 35 to each side
b. Multiply each side by -1/8 , subtract 35 from each side
c. Multiply each side by −8, subtract 35 from each side
d. Multiply each side by −8, add 35 to each side

Answer 1

?

Answer 2

Step 1 :Multiply both sides by -8

Answer 3

\(-8\times-\frac{1}{8}(x+35)=-7\times-\frac{1}{8}\)

Answer 4

\(x+35=\frac{7}{8}\)

Answer 5

Step 2: Subtract both sides by 35 and solve it

Answer 6

\(x+35-35=\frac{7}{8}-35\)
