The problem asks us to find the value of $x$ that satisfies the equation obtained by replacing the inequality sign in $\frac{-10+x}{4} + 5 \geq \frac{7x-5}{3}$ with an equal sign. In other words, we need to solve for $x$ in the equation $\frac{-10+x}{4} + 5 = \frac{7x-5}{3}$. Also, we need to explain how solving the equation $7x+5 = 2x+35$ helps solve the inequality $7x+5 > 2x+35$.

1. Problem Description
The problem asks us to find the value of that satisfies the equation obtained by replacing the inequality sign in with an equal sign. In other words, we need to solve for in the equation . Also, we need to explain how solving the equation helps solve the inequality .
2. Solution Steps
First, solve .
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12 to eliminate fractions:
Subtract from both sides:
Add 20 to both sides:
Divide both sides by 25:
Second, explain how solving the equation helps solve the inequality . Solving yields . This value, , is the boundary between where and where . To solve the inequality , we solve the equation to find the boundary . Then, we test a value of less than 6, such as , and we have , which simplifies to , which is false. Then we test a value of greater than 6, such as . We have , which simplifies to , or , which is true. Therefore, the solution to the inequality is .
3. Final Answer
The value of that produces equality is .
Solving the equation finds the boundary point for the inequality . We can then test values on either side of to determine the solution to the inequality.
