To solve the equation
\[ 7 = \frac{1}{5}(6x + 5), \]
we will start by eliminating the fraction. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by 5:
\[ 5 \times 7 = 6x + 5. \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 35 = 6x + 5. \]
Next, we will isolate \(6x\) by subtracting 5 from both sides:
\[ 35 - 5 = 6x, \]
which simplifies to:
\[ 30 = 6x. \]
Now, we can solve for \(x\) by dividing both sides by 6:
\[ x = \frac{30}{6} = 5. \]
Thus, the solution for \(x\) in simplest form is
\[ \boxed{5}. \]
