Answer: x = 0
Step-by-step explanation: Start by distributing the -7 through the parenthses on the left side of the equation.
-7(5) is -35 and -7(-3x) is 21x.
So we have -35 + 21x = -35.
Next, isolate the x term by adding 35 to both sides.
When we do this, we get 21x = 0.
Now divide both sides by 21 and x = 0.
