Answer:


\boxed{\bold{x=-3}}

Explanation:

Multiply both sides by 10


\bold{0.7x\cdot \:10-1.4\cdot \:10=-3.5\cdot \:10}

Refine


\bold{7x-14=-35}

Add 14 to both sides


\bold{7x-14+14=-35+14}

Simplify


\bold{7x=-21}

Divide both sides by 7


\bold{(7x)/(7)=(-21)/(7)}

Simplify


\bold{x=-3}
