7x=2\left(x+10\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -10 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 7\left(x+10\right), the least common multiple of x+10,7.
7x=2x+20
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+10.
7x-2x=20
Subtract 2x from both sides.
5x=20
Combine 7x and -2x to get 5x.
x=\frac{20}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=4
Divide 20 by 5 to get 4.
