Answer:

Distribute the 7 to the terms in the parentheses.

7x+14=-35

Subtract 14 from both sides.

7x=-49

Divide both sides by 7.

x=-7

:)

Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

7(x + 2) = -35

Distribute the 7 in the (x + 2).

7x = 14 = -35

Subtract 14 from both sides.

7x = -49

Divide both sides by 7.

x = -7.

Proof:

7(x + 2) = -35

Substitute variable.

7((-7) + 2) = -35

Add -7 and 2.

7(-5) = -35

Multiply 7 and -5.

-35 = -35
