Question 666803
Starting with
{{{-x/7 + 5 = 10}}}
2 Options to start

...
Option 1
Multiply the entire equation by 7 to be rid of the fraction
{{{1cross(7)-x/1cross(7) + 7(5) = 7(10)}}}
-x + 35 = 70
-x = 70 - 35
-x = 35
Divide both sides by -1
{{{highlight_green(x=-35)}}}
...
Option 2
Isolate x
{{{-x/7 = 10 - 5}}}
{{{-x/7 = 5}}}
Now mulitply both sides by 7
{{{1cross(7)-x/1cross(7) = 7(5)}}}
-x = 35
Divide both sides by -1
{{{highlight_green(x=-35)}}}
...
Check {{{cartoon(
-(-35)/7,
35/7,
5 + 5,
10)}}}
