    collect like terms;

    3x-10x=-7x

    -7x+5=5x+17

    move the variable to the left and change sign

    -7x+5=5x+17

    move the constant to the right and change sign

    -7x-5x+17-5

    collect the like terms

    -12x=17-5

    subtract the numbers

    -12x=12

    divide both sides by - 12

    your answer is: x = - 1
