To solve for $$ x $$ in the equation:

$$
2x + 5x = 35
$$

**Step 1: Combine like terms**

$$
2x + 5x = 7x
$$

So the equation becomes:

$$
7x = 35
$$

**Step 2: Solve for $$ x $$**

Divide both sides of the equation by 7:

$$
x = \frac{35}{7} = 5
$$

**Step 3: Check the solution**

Substitute $$ x = 5 $$ back into the original equation:

$$
2(5) + 5(5) = 10 + 25 = 35
$$

Since both sides of the equation are equal, the solution is correct.

$$
x = 5
$$
$$ x = 5 $$

Solve for \( x \). Check your solution. \[ \begin{array}{l}2 x+5 x=35\end{array} \] \( x=\square \) (Simplify your answer.)
