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

Respuesta :

The answer is Multiply each side by −8, subtract 35 from each side

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

Multiply each side by -8:
[tex](-8)(- \frac{1}{8})(x+35)=(-8)(-7) \\ \\ 1(x + 35) = 56 \\ x + 35 = 56[/tex]

Subtract 35 from each side:
[tex]x + 35 -35 = 56-35 \\ \\ x + 0 =21 \\ \\ x = 21[/tex]

Answer:

The answer would be C) Multiply each side by −8, subtract 35 from each side
