2\left(x+5\right)=7\times 10
Variable x cannot be equal to -5 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 7\left(x+5\right), the least common multiple of 7,x+5.
2x+10=7\times 10
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+5.
2x+10=70
Multiply 7 and 10 to get 70.
2x=70-10
Subtract 10 from both sides.
2x=60
Subtract 10 from 70 to get 60.
x=\frac{60}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=30
Divide 60 by 2 to get 30.
