To solve for x, we can cross multiply to get:
7(2x - 5) = 5(2x + 1)14x - 35 = 10x + 5
Now, subtract 10x from both sides and add 35 to both sides to isolate x:
14x - 10x = 5 + 354x = 40x = 10
Therefore, the solution is x = 10.

Now, subtract 10x from both sides and add 35 to both sides to isolate x:
14x - 10x = 5 + 35
4x = 40
x = 10
Therefore, the solution is x = 10.
