Step-by-step solution

Let's pay attention to the exercise on the left side in terms of plus and minus signs.

The exercise looks like this:

::?= -:-\text{:?}=

If we solve the equation from left to right, we can see that we first divide a negative number by a negative number.

This means the result we get is a positive number:

:=+ -:-=+

Now the remaining exercise is:

+:?= +:?=

Our result needs to be greater than zero, and therefore we need a positive number, in order to get a positive number in the exercise.

Therefore:

+:+=+ +:+=+

+>0 + > 0

Therefore the answer is +35 +35

Final Answer

+35 +35
