You want to start by getting like terms together. This means getting all of the x's together and all of the plain numbers together. So subtract 7 from both sides so that you get 6x = -5-7 . This means 6x= -12 (because -5-7= -12 ). From there, you want to get x by itself because you are solving for x. To do this, divide both sides by 6, so you get (6x)/6= (-12)/6 is 1x= -2. Therefore, x = -2.
