Answer:

-3

Explanation:

Write the equation down, the first step is to minus the one from both sides of the equal sign(since it’s the opposite then adding) so you cancel out the 1 and do 7-1 your equation would look like this : -2x=6 the next step is to divide the -2 (it’s the opposite of multiplication) your answer would be x=-3
