Answer and explanation:
Given : When solving negative one over eight (x + 35) = −7
To find : What is the correct sequence of operations?
Solution :
The expression is \(-\frac{1}{8}(x+35)=-7\)
Step 1 - Multiply -8 both side,
\(-\frac{-8}{8}(x+35)=-7\times (-8)\)
\(x+35=56\)
Step 2 - Subtracting 35 both side,
\(x+35-35=56-35\)
\(x=21\)
Therefore, The value of x is 21.
