5*x + 10   7*x - 22
$$\frac{1}{5 x + 10} = \frac{1}{7 x - 22}$$
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$\frac{1}{5 x + 10} = \frac{1}{7 x - 22}$$
Use proportions rule:
From a1/b1 = a2/b2 should a1*b2 = a2*b1,
In this case
a1 = 1

b1 = 10 + 5*x

a2 = 1

b2 = -22 + 7*x

so we get the equation
$$7 x - 22 = 5 x + 10$$
$$7 x - 22 = 5 x + 10$$
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$7 x = 5 x + 32$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$2 x = 32$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 2
x = 32 / (2)

We get the answer: x = 16
