Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 35 = 3.5x \), you need to isolate \( x \). To do this, divide both sides of the equation by \( 3.5 \):

\[
x = \frac{35}{3.5}
\]

Now, let's perform the division:

\[
x = 10
\]

So the solution is:

\[
x = 10
\]

**Check the answer:**

Substituting \( x = 10 \) back into the original equation:

\[
3.5 \times 10 = 35
\]

Since this is true, our solution is verified:

\[
x = 10
\]
