Solution Steps

Step 1: Move all \( x \)-terms to one side

Subtract \( 2x \) from both sides of the equation: \[ 7x - 2x + 7 = -8 \] Simplify: \[ 5x + 7 = -8 \]

Step 2: Move constant terms to the other side

Subtract \( 7 \) from both sides: \[ 5x = -8 - 7 \] Simplify: \[ 5x = -15 \]

Step 3: Solve for \( x \)

Divide both sides by \( 5 \): \[ x = \frac{-15}{5} \] Simplify: \[ x = -3 \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{x = -3}\)
