-10

2

x= -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying 5x + 45 = 35 Reorder the terms: 45 + 5x = 35 Solving 45 + 5x = 35 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-45' to each side of the equation. 45 + -45 + 5x = 35 + -45 Combine like terms: 45 + -45 = 0 0 + 5x = 35 + -45 5x = 35 + -45 Combine like terms: 35 + -45 = -10 5x = -10 Divide each side by '5'. x = -2 Simplifying x = -2

The answer is -2
