Since you only have one equation, you will be unable to find a specific number to which x is equal. However, you can put it in terms of y. To do so, isolate the x terms on one side of the equation. This is will give you 5x = -3y - 34. To isolate x, divide everything by 5, which will result in x = -3/5 y - 34/5. That is as simple as you can make it, unless you have a second equation in the same problem, in which case you can take that value of x (-3/5 y - 34/5), plug it into the second equation in place of all the x's, solve for y, and then substitute that value back into the first equation to solve for x.
