We can start solving this equation by simplifying both sides using the order of operations (PEMDAS) and then isolating the variable x to one side of the equation.
-2(3x - 15) - 25 = 35
First, we can distribute the -2 on the left side:
-6x + 30 - 25 = 35
Next, we can combine like terms:
-6x + 5 = 35
Now, we want to get x by itself, so we need to subtract 5 from both sides:
-6x = 30
Finally, we can isolate x by dividing both sides by -6:
x = -5
Therefore, the solution to the equation -2(3x - 15) - 25 = 35 is x=-5.
