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 xx that satisfies the equation obtained by replacing the inequality sign in 10+x4+57x53\frac{-10+x}{4} + 5 \geq \frac{7x-5}{3} with an equal sign. In other words, we need to solve for xx in the equation 10+x4+5=7x53\frac{-10+x}{4} + 5 = \frac{7x-5}{3}. Also, we need to explain how solving the equation 7x+5=2x+357x+5 = 2x+35 helps solve the inequality 7x+5>2x+357x+5 > 2x+35.

2. Solution Steps

First, solve 10+x4+5=7x53\frac{-10+x}{4} + 5 = \frac{7x-5}{3}.
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12 to eliminate fractions:
12(10+x4+5)=12(7x53)12(\frac{-10+x}{4} + 5) = 12(\frac{7x-5}{3})
3(10+x)+60=4(7x5)3(-10+x) + 60 = 4(7x-5)
30+3x+60=28x20-30+3x+60 = 28x-20
3x+30=28x203x+30 = 28x-20
Subtract 3x3x from both sides:
30=25x2030 = 25x-20
Add 20 to both sides:
50=25x50 = 25x
Divide both sides by 25:
x=5025=2x = \frac{50}{25} = 2
Second, explain how solving the equation 7x+5=2x+357x+5=2x+35 helps solve the inequality 7x+5>2x+357x+5>2x+35. Solving 7x+5=2x+357x+5=2x+35 yields x=6x=6. This value, x=6x=6, is the boundary between where 7x+5>2x+357x+5 > 2x+35 and where 7x+5<2x+357x+5 < 2x+35. To solve the inequality 7x+5>2x+357x+5 > 2x+35, we solve the equation 7x+5=2x+357x+5=2x+35 to find the boundary x=6x=6. Then, we test a value of xx less than 6, such as x=0x=0, and we have 7(0)+5>2(0)+357(0)+5 > 2(0)+35, which simplifies to 5>355>35, which is false. Then we test a value of xx greater than 6, such as x=7x=7. We have 7(7)+5>2(7)+357(7)+5 > 2(7)+35, which simplifies to 49+5>14+3549+5 > 14+35, or 54>4954>49, which is true. Therefore, the solution to the inequality 7x+5>2x+357x+5 > 2x+35 is x>6x>6.

3. Final Answer

The value of xx that produces equality is x=2x=2.
Solving the equation 7x+5=2x+357x+5 = 2x+35 finds the boundary point x=6x=6 for the inequality 7x+5>2x+357x+5>2x+35. We can then test values on either side of x=6x=6 to determine the solution to the inequality.
