Verified Answer :

1500-35x=915

subtract 1500 from both sides.
1500-35x-1500=915-1500

-35x=-585

divide both sides by -35
\(\frac{-35x}{-35} \frac{-585}{-35}\)

\(x= \frac{117}{7}\)

you take away 1500 from 915. That would make it -35x = -585. then you divide both sides by -35 and you get x = 16.714
