Apologies for the mistake. Let's solve the equation correctly:
Let's start by isolating the variable x on one side of the equation.
To do that, we can subtract 7x from both sides:
10x + 5 - 7x = 7x - 16 - 7x
Simplifying the equation, we get:
3x + 5 = -16
Next, let's isolate the variable x by subtracting 5 from both sides:
3x + 5 - 5 = -16 - 5
Simplifying further, we have:
3x = -21
Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 3:
3x/3 = -21/3
x = -7
Therefore, the solution to the equation 10x + 5 = 7x - 16 is x = -7.
