To solve the equation \(10x + 5 = 7x - 16\), follow these steps:
1. **Isolate the variable \(x\)**: Start by getting all terms involving \(x\) on one side and constant terms on the other.
\[
10x - 7x = -16 - 5
\]
2. **Simplify both sides**:
\[
3x = -21
\]
3. **Solve for \(x\)** by dividing both sides by 3:
\[
x = \frac{-21}{3}
\]
\[
x = -7
\]
So, the solution is:
\[
x = -7
\]
