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 [tex]-\frac{1}{8}(x+35)=-7[/tex]
Step 1 - Multiply -8 both side,
[tex]-\frac{-8}{8}(x+35)=-7\times (-8)[/tex]
[tex]x+35=56[/tex]
Step 2 - Subtracting 35 both side,
[tex]x+35-35=56-35[/tex]
[tex]x=21[/tex]
Therefore, The value of x is 21.
