Answer:

x = -522 19/30

Explanation:

To solve for x, distribute the 3/5. This gives us 3/5x - 21/50 = -314. Add over 21/50 to the other side, allowing for 3/5x to equal -313 29/50. Divide by 3/5 on both sides and we get x equal to -522 19/30. This is the final answer as a mixed number and is also in simplest form.
