$x = \frac{- 8}{13}$ $x=(-8)/13$

Given -

$- 5 = 6 x + 3 + 7 x$ $-5=6x+3+7x$

Let us rewrite by taking the unknown to the left -

$6 x + 3 + 7 x = - 5$ $6x+3+7x=-5$

Simplify

$13 x + 3 = - 5$ $13x+3=-5$

Add $- 3$ $-3$ to both sides

$13xcancel(+3) cancel(-3)=-5-3$

Simplify -

$13x=-8$

Multiply both sides with $1/13$

$cancel(13)x xx 1/(cancel13)=-8 xx 1/13$

$x=(-8)/13$
