Answer: x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok let's start by using the distributive property

[tex](-5)(x)+(-5)(7)=-14+2x\\-5x-35=-14+2x[/tex]

Now subtract 2x from both sides

[tex]-5x-35-2x=2x-14-2x\\-7x-35=-14[/tex]

Next add 35 to both sides

[tex]-7x-35+35=-14+35\\-7x=21[/tex]

Finally divide both sides by -7

[tex]\frac{-7x}{-7} =\frac{21}{-7} \\x=-3[/tex]

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we compute -5(x + 7). -5(x + 7) = -5x - 35. Plugging this into the equation, we have -5x - 35 = -14 + 2x Next, we combine like terms by moving all terms with the variable x to the left side. We have -5x - 2x = -14 + 35. We simplify the equation into -7x = 21. Divide 21 by -7, and we get x = -3.
