1. We are asked to solve the equations for $x$ in two cases: **Case 3:** $x = -\frac{1}{4}$ **Case 5:** $x = -35$ 2. For Case 3, the equation is already solved for $x$, so the solution is simply: $$x = -\frac{1}{4}$$ 3. For Case 5, the equation is also already solved for $x$, so the solution is: $$x = -35$$ 4. Both cases are straightforward as the value of $x$ is given directly. **Final answers:** - Case 3: $x = -\frac{1}{4}$ - Case 5: $x = -35$
