To solve the equation [tex]\(7x - 15 = 20\)[/tex] given that [tex]\(x = 35\)[/tex], let's verify the solution step by step.
1. Substitute [tex]\(x\)[/tex] with 35 in the equation:
[tex]\[
7(35) - 15
\][/tex]
2. Multiply 7 by 35:
[tex]\[
7 \times 35 = 245
\][/tex]
3. Subtract 15 from 245:
[tex]\[
245 - 15 = 230
\][/tex]
Thus, when [tex]\(x = 35\)[/tex], the left-hand side of the equation [tex]\(7x - 15\)[/tex] simplifies to 230. This confirms that the given solution satisfies the equation. Therefore, the result of the expression [tex]\(7x - 15\)[/tex] when [tex]\(x = 35\)[/tex] is 230.
