The solution

You have entered [src]
-2*(5 - x) = 4*x + 7
$$- 2 \left(5 - x\right) = 4 x + 7$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-2*(5-x) = 4*x+7

Expand brackets in the left part
-2*5+2*x = 4*x+7

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$2 x = 4 x + 17$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\left(-2\right) x = 17$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -2
x = 17 / (-2)

We get the answer: x = -17/2
