Answer: The value of x is equal to 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

To start, we need to perform the distributive property.

5(-2 + x)  =  5 * -2 + 5 * x  =  -10 + 5x.

Now we have -10 + 5x = 35.

So next we need to isolate 5x by adding 10 to each side of the equation.

-10 + 5x = 35 + 10  =  5x  =  45.

The last step is to divide each side by 5.

5x/5 = 45/5.

And the final answer is x = 9.

You can also plug in 9 into the original equation.

5(-2 + 9) = 35.

5(7) = 35.

35 = 35.
