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:

\[
x = -7
\]
