This is really an "inequality" rather than an "equation"
Solve for x:
Subtract 7 from both sides.
Subtract 5x from both sides.
Finally, divide both sides by 3.

8x + 7 => 5x - 14
Subtract 5x from both sides to get:
3x + 7 >= -14
Subtract 7 from both sides to get:
3x >= -21
Divide both sides by 3 to get:
x >= -7
