To solve the equation, we can follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS) and simplify step by step:

Start by simplifying the expression within the parentheses: 2 + 8 = 10.
Next, multiply -7 by 10: -7 * 10 = -70.
Now, let's simplify the other part of the equation: 9 * -2 = -18.
Move to the addition within the expression: 5 + (-18) = -13.

Lastly, divide -70 by -13: -70 / -13 = 5.3846153846153846 (approximately).

Therefore, the solution to the equation is approximately 5.3846.
