x/7 = -2

Simplify both sides of the equation.

17x = −2

Multiply both sides by 7.

7*(1/7x)=(7)*(−2)

x = −14

Answer
x=−14

The answer is x=-14
Here's why:
7 times -2= -14
(A negative times a positive equals a negative)
-14 divided by 7=-2
(A negative divided by a positive equals a negative)
-14/7=-2
X=-14
