Answer:

x = 15

Explanation:

Substitute: -4/5x + 7 = -5

Rearrange unknown terms to the left side of the equation: -4/5x = -5 - 7

Calculate the sum or difference: -4/5x = -12

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of variable: x = -12 × (-5/4)

Remove the parentheses: x = 12 × 5/4

Cross out the common factor: x = 3 × 5

Calculate the product or quotient: x = 15

So the answer is: x = 15
