The correct answer is: $14$
$(7-5 x)^{\frac{-2}{3}}$
$$
=7^{\frac{-2}{3}}\left(1-\frac{5 x}{7}\right)^{-\frac{2}{3}}
$$

To make expansion valid
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \left|\frac{5 x}{7}\right| < 1 \Rightarrow|x| < \frac{7}{5} \\
& \therefore x \in\left(\frac{-7}{5}, \frac{7}{5}\right) \\
& \therefore C=\frac{7}{5} \therefore 5 C+7=14
\end{aligned}
$$
