5(x -7) = 9 - 2x + 5

5x - 35 = 9 - 2x + 5 (Distributing)

5x + 2x - 35 = 9 + 5 (Adding 2x to both sides of the equation)

5x + 2x = 35 + 9 + 5 (Adding 35 to both sides of the equation)

7x = 49 (Adding like terms)

x = 49/7 (Dividing by 7 on both sides of the equation)

x= 7 (Dividing)

The answer is x=7.
