Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides.
7 - 3x = -2/5x - 69/5
7 + - 3x = -2/5x + -69/5
-3x + 7 = -2/5x + -69/5
Step 2: Add 2/5x to both sides.
-3x + 7 + 2/5x = -2/5x + -69/5 + 2/5x
-13/5x + 7 = -69/5
Step 3: Subtract 7 from both sides.
-13/5x + 7 - 7 = -69/5 - 7
-13/5x = -104/5
Step 4: Multiply both sides by 5/(-13)
(5/-13) * (-13/5x) = (5/-13) * (-104/5)
x=8
