The solution

You have entered [src]
-2*x - 5*x + 1 = 0
$$\left(- 5 x - 2 x\right) + 1 = 0$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-2*x-5*x+1 = 0

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
1 - 7*x = 0

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 7 x = -1$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -7
x = -1 / (-7)

We get the answer: x = 1/7
