x = ?​

Answer 1

Answer: -14

Step-by-step explanation: When you have a problem like this all you do in multiply the answer and the number your given.

7x-2 that would by -14

You want to check your answer by changing X for -14 and you solve from there. Plus 2 negatives equal a positive.

Answer 2

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\mathsf{(x)/(-2) = 7}`

`\text{Multiply } \rm{ -2}\text{ to both sides}`

`\mathsf{(x)/(-2)* -2 = 7* -2}`

`\text{Simplify it}`

`\mathsf{x = 7* -2}`

`\mathsf{x = -14}`

`\huge\text{Therefore, your answer should be:}`

`\huge\boxed{\mathsf{x = -14}}\huge\checkmark`
