Question 352929
{{{-2(x-6)+7=35}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-2x+12+7=35}}} Distribute.



{{{-2x+19=35}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-2x=35-19}}} Subtract {{{19}}} from both sides.



{{{-2x=16}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(16)/(-2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-2}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-8}}} Reduce.
