5x-7\left(3x-1\right)+105=0
Multiply both sides of the equation by 35, the least common multiple of 7,5.
5x-21x+7+105=0
Use the distributive property to multiply -7 by 3x-1.
-16x+7+105=0
Combine 5x and -21x to get -16x.
-16x+112=0
Add 7 and 105 to get 112.
-16x=-112
Subtract 112 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-112}{-16}
Divide both sides by -16.
x=7
Divide -112 by -16 to get 7.
