Final Answer:

x = -5

In-depth explanation:

Hi! The question is asking us to solve the equation.

To find x, I'll begin by distributing -7:


\large\textbf{-7(x + 2) = 21}


\large\textbf{-7x - 14 = 21}

Add 14 to each side:


\large\textbf{-7x = 21 + 14}


\large\textbf{-7x = 35}

Divide each side by -7:


\large\textbf{x = -5}

∴ answer: x = -5
