Answer:
[tex]x = -47[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Use the distributive property
5 ( x - 7 ) = 6 ( x + 2 ) → 5x - 35 = 6x + 12
2. Subtract 5x from both sides of the equation
5x - 5x -35 = 6x - 5x + 12 → -35 = x + 12
3. Subtract 12 from both sides
-35 - 12 = x + 12 - 12 → -47 = x
4. So, the answer is
[tex]x = -47[/tex]
