Please help and show the work :) I’m super lost.

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

35 more than 8 times a number

.Let that number be x

35 more than 8 times the number x is written as 35+8x

And 43 less than the product of -7 and the number is written as 43 - -7x

=43+7x

and from the question, the two equations are equal,so we just place the equal sign between the two expression and solve for X

Thus

35+8x=43+7x

Grouping of like terms

8x-7x = 43-35

X = 8 .
