To solve this equation, we need to first simplify the left side by using the property of logarithms that states 10^lg(x) = x:
5 * 10^lg(x) = 5x
Now we can rewrite the equation as:
5x = 7x - 15
Next, we can move 7x to the left side by subtracting 7x from both sides:
5x - 7x = -15
-2x = -15
To solve for x, divide both sides by -2:
x = 15/2
Therefore, x = 7.5.
