Answer:
x=1

Explanation:

1) Add 10x to each side of the equation:
-7 + 5x + 10x = 8 + -10x + 10x

2) Combine like terms: 5x + 10x = 15x ----->
-7 + 15x = 8 + -10x + 10x

3) Combine like terms: -10x + 10x = 0 ----->
-7 + 15x = 8 + 0


-7 + 15x = 8

4) Combine like terms: 8 + 7 = 15 ---->
15x = 15

5) Divide each side by 15:
x = 1
