  10        
----- = -5/8
x + 7       
$$\frac{10}{x + 7} = - \frac{5}{8}$$
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$\frac{10}{x + 7} = - \frac{5}{8}$$
Use proportions rule:
From a1/b1 = a2/b2 should a1*b2 = a2*b1,
In this case
a1 = 10

b1 = 7 + x

a2 = 1

b2 = -8/5

so we get the equation
$$\frac{\left(-8\right) 10}{5} = x + 7$$
$$-16 = x + 7$$
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$0 = x + 23$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$- x = 23$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -1
x = 23 / (-1)

We get the answer: x = -23
