Answer:
x = [tex]\frac{17}{14}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
simplify both sides of the equation
-9x + 10 - 5x = - 7
-9x + 10 + - 5x = -7
(-9x + -5x) + (10) = -7 (combine like terms)
-14x + 10 = -7
subtract 10 from both sides
-14x + 10 - 10 = -7 - 10
-14x = -17
divide both sides by -14
[tex]\frac{-14x}{-14}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-17}{-14}[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{17}{14}[/tex]
