We will have the following:

*We test each scenario, that is:

** x = -7 & x = 1:


(7)-(7)/(7)=6\Rightarrow6=6

&


(1)-(7)/(1)=6\Rightarrow-6\\e6

So, the first option is not.

** x = -6 & x = -1:


(-6)-(7)/(-6)=6\Rightarrow-(29)/(6)\\e6

So, the second option is not.

** x = -1 & x = 7:


-1-(7)/(-1)=6\Rightarrow6=6

&


7-(7)/(7)=6\Rightarrow6=6

So, the third option is the solution.
