Question

When solving negative one over eight (x + 35) = −7, what is the correct sequence of operations?

Multiply each side by negative one over eight , add 35 to each side
Multiply each side by negative one over eight , subtract 35 from each side
Multiply each side by −8, subtract 35 from each side
Multiply each side by −8, add 35 to each side

Answer 1

Okay, so.. Your equation will look like this.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

1.)Combine Multiplied Terms into a single fraction.
\[\frac{ 1(x+35) }{ 8 }=-7\]

Answer 4

2.) Multiply By One
\[\frac{ x+35 }{ 8 }=-7\]

Answer 5

ya know I wish I was actually good at math

Answer 6

3.)Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators
\[8(\frac{ x+35 }{ 8})=(8)-7\]

Answer 7

4.)Simplify
\[x+35=-56\]

Answer 8

5.)Subtract 35 from both sides of the equation
\[x+35-35 =-56-35\]

Answer 9

6.)Simplify
\[x=-91\]

Answer 10

Your answer would then be "C" C.)Multiply each side by −8, subtract 35 from each side
