7\left(x+5\right)+7x\left(-\frac{4}{7}\right)=-4
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 7x, the least common multiple of x,7,7x.
7x+35+7x\left(-\frac{4}{7}\right)=-4
Use the distributive property to multiply 7 by x+5.
7x+35-4x=-4
Multiply 7 and -\frac{4}{7} to get -4.
3x+35=-4
Combine 7x and -4x to get 3x.
3x=-4-35
Subtract 35 from both sides.
3x=-39
Subtract 35 from -4 to get -39.
x=\frac{-39}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=-13
Divide -39 by 3 to get -13.
