The value of the given number is -10.
Here, we are given that Thirty-five more than 0.8 times a number is the same as 43 less than the product of -7 and the number.
Let the number be x
0.8 times x = 0.8
35 more than 0.8x = 35 + 0.8x
Thus, our left hand side of the equation is 35 + 0.8x
Now, the product of -7 and x = -7x
43 less than -7x = -7x - 43
Thus, we get the following equation-
35 + 0.8x = -7x - 43
we can solve this equation to find the value of x-
0.8x + 7x = -43 - 35
7.8x = -78
x = -78/ 7.8
x = -1/ 0.1
x = -10
Thus, the value of the given number is -10.
