Explanation:

5+6x=2x-7

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand

5+6x=2x-7

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.

+6x-2x=-7-5

We simplify left and right side of the equation.

+4x=-12

We divide both sides of the equation by 4 to get x.

x=-3
