x=7, see below for how.
Explanation:
First let's simplify the numerical side or the right side.
So we can write this on the right side. On the other side we just need to combine like terms, in this case the x variables.
We have 2x and 5x together on the same side, so we can add them, or add their coefficients to get the following:
After this we can get rid of the -5 on the left side by adding 5 to both sides.
So now comes time for solving. We divide each side by 7 to get the following:
Hope that helps!
